My own love said to me
My mother won’t mind
And my father won’t slight you
For your lack of kind
He went away from me
And this he did say
It will not be long love
Till our wedding day
He went away from me
And he moved through the fair
And slowly I watched him
Move here and move there
He made his way homeward
With one star awake
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake
I dreamed last night
That my own love came in
He came in so sweetly
His feet made no din
He came close beside me
And this he did say
It will not be long love
Till our wedding day
