A Fond Kiss       (Robert Burns poem / Live on Peel Acres 01-22-04)       A fond kiss, and then we sever    A farewell, and then forever    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 cheerfu' twinkle lights me    Dark despair around benights me       I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy    Nothing could resist my Nancy    But to see her was to love her       Love but her, and love forever    Had we never lov'd say kindly    Had we never lov'd say blindly       Never met – or never parted    We had ne'er been broken-hearted       Fare thee well, thou first and fairest    Fare thee well, thou best and dearest    Thine be like a joy and treasure       Peace, enjoyment, love, and pleasure    A fond kiss, and then we sever    A farewell, alas, forever       Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee    Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee       Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee    Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
