Subject: RE: Folklore: Dying of a 'Broken Heart'
Oo! Oo!

I can't believe I forgot to mention "She Moved Through The Fair:"

The people were saying, 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.

Last night she came to me, my dead love came in
So softly she came that her feet made no din
As she laid her hand on me and this she did say
"It will not be long, love, 'til our wedding day"


Anyone ever wonder what dropped her so darned suddenly? Not heartbreak, surely. Maybe a freak disease?

I have similar questions about Mary from "Banks of the Lee...."
