                          *              
                                         
                   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!
                                         
                           *             
                                                                             2312
