Part 85 (1/2)

O May, Thy Morn

O may, thy morn was ne'er so sweet As the mirk night o' December!

For sparkling was the rosy wine, And private was the chamber: And dear was she I dare na name, But I will aye remember: And dear was she I dare na name, But I will aye remember.

And here's to them that, like oursel, Can push about the jorum!

And here's to them that wish us weel, May a' that's guid watch o'er 'em!

And here's to them, we dare na tell, The dearest o' the quorum!

And here's to them, we dare na tell, The dearest o' the quorum.

Ae Fond Kiss, And Then We Sever

Tune--”Rory Dall's Port.”

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.

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 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 fareweeli alas, for ever!

Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee, Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.

Behold The Hour, The Boat, Arrive

Behold the hour, the boat, arrive!

My dearest Nancy, O fareweel!

Severed frae thee, can I survive, Frae thee whom I hae lov'd sae weel?
