Braes o' Birniebouzle (1823, Edinburgh)/The Parting Kiss

by Anonymous

THE PARTING KISS.

One kind kiss before we part,
drop a tear, and bid adieu
Though you sever, my fond heart
till we meet, shall pant for you.
Till we meet, till we meet,
till we meet, shall pant for you.

Yet yet weep not so my love,
let me kiss that falling tear,
Though my body must remove,
all my soul shall still be here. Tho', &c.

All my soul and all my heart,
every wish shall pant for you,
One kind kiss, then, ere we part,
drop a tear, and bid adieu. One, &c.
