1 Ae fond kiss, and then we sever; br 2 Ae fareweel, and then forever! br 3 Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee, br 4 Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee. br 5 Who shall say that Fortune grieves him, br 6 While the star of hope she leaves him? br 7 Me, nae cheerfu' twinkle lights me; br 8 Dark despair around benights me. br br 9 I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy, br 10 Naething could resist my Nancy; br 11 But to see her was to love her; br 12 Love but her, and love forever. br 13 Had we never lov'd sae kindly, br 14 Had we never lov'd sae blindly, br 15 Never met--or never parted-- br 16 We had ne'er been broken-hearted. br br 17 Fare thee weel, thou first and fairest! br 18 Fare thee weel, thou best and dearest! br 19 Thine be ilka joy and treasure, br 20 Peace.
