Ae fond kiss, and then we sever   Ae farewell, and then forever   Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee   Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee      Who's say that Fortune grieves him   While the star of hope she leaves him?   Me, no cheerful 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 loved so kindly   Had we never loved so blindly   Never met - or never parted    We’d ne'er been so broken-hearted      Fare-thee-well, thou first and fairest   Fare-thee-well, thou best and dearest   Thine be ilka joy and treasure   Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure      Ae fond kiss, and then we sever   Ae farewell, alas, forever   Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee   Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
