Was Scotland's National Bard A Fool For Love?
A Rosebud By My Early Walk - Verse 1

A rosebud by my early walk, Adown a corn-encloséd bawk, Sae gently bent its thorny stalk, All on a dewy morning. Ere twice the shades o' dawn are fled, In a its crimson glory spread, And drooping rich the dewy head, It scents the early morning.

Bonnie Peggy Alison - Verse 1

When in my arms, wi’ a’ thy charms, I clasp my countless treasure, O! I seek nae mair o’ Heaven to share Than sic a moment’s pleasure, O!

Clarinda, Mistress Of My Soul - Verse 1

Clarinda, mistres of my soul, The measur'd time is run! The wretch beneath the dreary pole So marks his latest sun.

Eppie Adair - Verse 1

By love and by beauty, By law and by duty, I swear to be true to My Eppie Adair!

Farewell To Eliza - Verse 1

From thee, Eliza, I must go, And from my native shore; The cruel fates between us throw A boundless ocean's roar: But boundless oceans, roaring wide, Between my love and me, They never, never can divide My heart and soul from thee.

Auld Lang Syne
Hi,

It's a common misconception that Auld Lang Syne is by Robert Burns. It's traditional and predates him by several years. I can offer no other info than that, sorry.
