ae fond kiss, and then we sever
tune—“rory dall's port.”
ae fond kiss, and then we sever;
ae fareweel, as, for ever!
deep i-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 cheerful twinkle lights me;
dark despair around benights me.
i'll ne'er bme my partial fancy,
hing 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 brokeed.
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 fareweeli as, for ever!
deep i-wrung tears i'll pledge thee,
warring sighs and groans i'll wage thee.
