SHE MOVED THRU THE FAIRE -Padraic Colum recorded by Theodore Bikel

My young love said to me: My mother won't mind

And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind

She put her arms 'round me; these words she did say:

It will not be long, love, 'til our wedding day!

Then she stepped away from me, and she moved thru the Faire

And so fondly I watched her move here and move there

At last she turned homeward, with one star awake

As the Swan in the evening moves over the lake.

Last night she came to me, my dead love came in

And so soft did she move that her feet made no din

She put her arms 'round me; these words she did say:

It will not be long, love, 'til our wedding day! *
