My young love said to me

My mother won't mind

And me father won't slight you

For your lack of kine

And then she stepped away from me

And this did she say

It will not be long love

'Til our wedding day

The people were saying

But no two e'er were wed

But one had a sorrow

That never was said

And I smiled as she passed

With her goods and her gear

And that was the last

That I saw of my dear

I dream keep

Last night

That my dead love came in

So softly she came

That her feet made no ding

She came close beside me

And this did she say

It will not be long love

'Til our wedding day
