The narrator sees his lover move away from him through the fair, after telling him that since her family will approve, "it will not be long, love, till our wedding day." She returns as a ghost at night, and repaets the words, "it will not be long, love, till our wedding day", intimating her own tragic death (possibly at the hands of her disapproving family), as well as the couple's potential reunion in the afterlife. (credit: Wikipedia) A moving, evocative rendition for horn quartet.
