Ae Fond Kiss
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
