ae fond kiss

Katherine Jenkins

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever
Ae farewell, and then forever
Deep in heart-wrung tears I ll pledge thee
Warring sighs and goans 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
Nothing could resist my nancy
But to see her was to love her
Love but her, and love for ever

Had we never loe d sae kindly
Had we never loe d sae blindly
Never met - nor 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 farewell, alas, for ever
Deep in heart-wrung tears I ll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I ll wage thee
