Ae
fond kiss, and then we sever,
Ae fareweel, and then for ever !
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee. -
Who
shall say that Fortune grieves him,
While the star of hope she leaves him,
Me, nae chearful twinkle lights me,
Dark despair around benights me. -
I'll
ne'er blame my partial fancy,
Naething could resist my Nancy,
But to see her, was to love her,
Love but her, and love for ever. -
Had
we never lov'd sae kindly,
Had we never lov'd sae blindly!
Never met - or never parted,
We had ne'er been broken - hearted. -
Fare
- thee - weel, thou first and fairest!
Fare - thee - weel, thou best and dearest!
Thine be ilka joy and treasure,
Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure! -
Ae
fond kiss, and then we sever!
Ae fareweel, Alas for ever!
Deep in heart - wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee. -
