Thou Gloomy December : : By Robert Burns : 1796 – 1859 : : Ayrshire / Scotland : : : : : : : : : : :
Ance mair I hail thee thou Gloomy December.
Ance mair I hail thee with sorrow and care.
Sad was the parting thou made me remember.
Parting wi’ Nancy o nair to meet mair.
Fond lover’s parting is sweet painful pleasure.
Hope beaming mild on the soft parting hour.
But the dire feeling, o farewell forever.
Anguish unmingled and agony pure.
Wild as the winter now tearing the forest.
Till the last leaf O the summer is flown.
Such is the tempest has shaken my bosom.
Till my last hope and last comfort is gone.
Still shall I hail thee; thou Gloomy December.
Still shall I hail thee with sorrow and care.
For sad was the parting, thou makes me remember.
Parting wi’ Nancy, O nair to meet mair. : : : : : For the Educational Purposes only. : : : :
