She Moved Through The Fair
Enchanting Love's Journey: She Moved Through The Fair
Lyrics
My young love said to me,
My young love assured me of her family's approval.
My mother won't mind
She mentioned that her mother wouldn't object to our relationship.
And my father won't slight you
She assured that her father wouldn't disapprove due to social differences.
For your lack of kind.
Addressing any concerns about a lack of social status or kindness on my part.
She stepped away from me
She moved away from me physically.
And this she did say,
Expressing what she had to say as she distanced herself.
"It will not be long love
She anticipated a short time until our wedding day.
Till our wedding day".
Emphasizing the imminent nature of their wedding.
She went away from me
She left my presence.
And she moved through the fair
Describing her movement through a public gathering or marketplace.
And fondly I watched her move here
Observing her with affection as she moved around.
And move there.
Highlighting her free-spirited and unhindered movements.
And she went her way homeward
She journeyed back towards her home.
With one star awake,
Describing the nighttime setting with a single visible star.
As the swan in the evening
Using the metaphor of a swan over a lake to depict elegance and grace.
Moved o'er the lake.
Continuing the imagery of a serene and beautiful scene.
Last night I did dream,
Narrating a dream where the lover returns.
That my love came in.
Highlighting the quiet and unobtrusive entry of the dreamt-of lover.
And so quietly she entered,
Emphasizing the subtlety of her entrance.
That her feet made no din.
Portraying a gentle and noiseless approach.
And she laid her hands on me
Describing an intimate moment where she touched the dreamer.
And this she did say,
Reiterating the anticipation of an impending wedding.
"It will not be long love
Expressing confidence in the nearness of the wedding day.
Till our wedding day".
Closing with the repeated assurance of an upcoming wedding.
