| And she went away from me |
| She moves through the fair |
| And fondly I watched her |
| Move here and move there |
| And then she went homeward |
| Only one star awake |
| Like a swan in the evening |
| Moves over the lake |
| Last night she came to me |
| My dead love came in |
| So softly she came |
| That her feet made no din |
| And she laid her hand on me |
| And this she did say |
| Oh, it will not be long love |
| Till our wedding day |
