Ay fond kiss, and then we sever;
Ay fareweel, alas for ever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warrin' 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.

Fare thee well, thou first and fairest!
Fare thee well, my best and dearest!
[. From: http://www.elyrics.net .]
Thine be like, joy and treasure,
Peace, enjoyment, love and pleasure!

Had we never lov'd so kindly,
Had we never lov'd so blindly!
Nor never met – nor never parted,
We would never be so broken-hearted.

Ay fond kiss, and then we sever!
Ay fareweel, alas, for ever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warrin' sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
