She Moved Through the Fair

My young love said to me
 my mother won't mind
 and my father won't slight you
 for your lack of kind
 And she stepped away from me
 and this she did say
 it will not be long love
 'till our wedding day
 She stepped away from me
 and she moved through the fair
 and fondly I watched her
 move here and move there
 And when she went homeward
 with one star awake
 as the swan in the evening
 moves over the lake
 Last night she came to me
 and she came softly in
 so softly she came that
 her feet made no din
 And she laid her hand on me
 and this she did say
 it will not be long love
 'till our wedding day
 It will not be long love
 'till our wedding day
 If I were an eagle
 and had wings to fly
 I would fly to my love's castle
 and it's there I would lie
 On that bed of green ivy
 I would lay myself down
 And it's with my two fond wings
 I would my love surround
 And it's with my two fond wings
 I would my love surround
