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, 'til 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 she made her way homeward, just one star awake
As the swan in the evening moved over the lake

Last night I dreamt, my young love came in
So softly she entered, her feet made no din
And she came close beside me, and this she did say
It will not be long love, 'til our wedding Day

It will not be long love, 'til our wedding Day
