Ae Fond Kiss |
| Ae fond kiss, and then we sever! |
| Ae fareweil, alas, forever! |
| Deep in heartwrung tears I’ll pledge thee, |
| Warring sighs and groans I’ll wage thee. |
| Wha shall say that Fortune grieves him, |
| While the star of hope she leaves him? |
| Me, nae cheerfu twinkle lights me, |
| Dark despair around benights me. |
| I’ll ne’er blame my partial fancy: |
| Naethin could resist my Nancy! |
| But to see her was to love her |
| Love but her, and love for ever. |
| Had we never loved sae kindly, |
| Had we never loved sae blindly, |
| Never met, or never pairted, |
| We had ne’er been broken-hearted. |
| Fare thee weill, thou first and fairest |
| Fare thee weill, thou best and dearest |
| Thine be ilka joy and treasure, |
| Peace, enjoyment, love and pleasure |
