Ae Fond Kiss

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever
 Ae farewell, alas, for ever
 Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
 Wearing sighs and groans I'll wage thee
 ♪
 Who shall 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 never blame my partial fancy
 Nothing could resist my Nancy
 But to see her was to love her
 Love but her, and love for ever
 ♪
 Had we never loved so kindly
 Had we never loved so blindly
 Never met, nor never parted
 Never 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 treasure
