Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!nAe fareweil, alas, forever!nDeep in heartwrung tears I'll pledge thee,nWarring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.nnWha shall say that Fortune grieves him,nWhile the star of hope she leaves him?nMe, nae cheerfu twinkle lights me,nDark despair around benights me.nnI'll ne'er blame my partial fancy:nNaethin could resist my Nancy!nBut to see her was to love hernLove but her, and love for ever.nnHad we never loved sae kindly,nHad we never loved sae blindly,nNever met, or never pairted,nWe had ne'er been broken-hearted.nnFare thee weill, thou first and fairestnFare thee weill, thou best and dearestnThine be ilka joy and treasure,nPeace, enjoyment, love and pleasure
