Ae Fond Kiss
The small portrait photo is of my mum Nancy (Lamb Ferguson)
Moore. Sadly mum died on 5th July 2001, 4 days after she and Dad celebrated
their 36th Wedding Anniversary. This is not the best photo of her and I hope I
can update this one soon. She was a brilliant artist and Dad has all of her
works at the moment, I hope to be able to show some of them here at some time in
the future. Nancy Lamb Ferguson Moore 19/12/1948 - 05/07/2001.
Ae Fond Kiss
Ae fond Kiss and then we sever.
Ae fareweel and then forever.
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
Who shall say the fortune grieves him,
While the star of hope she leaves him?
Me. Nea cheerful twinkle lights me,
Dark despair around benights me.
I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy;
Naething thing could resist my Nancy.
But to see her was to love her
Love but her and love forever.
Had we never loved sae kindly,
Had we ne'er love sae blindly.
Never met - or never parted -
We had ne'er been broken hearted.
Fare-thee-weel, thou first and fairest.
Fare-thee-weel thou best and dearest.
Thin be ilka joy and treasure,
peace, enjoyment, love and pleasure.
Ae fond kiss, and then we cever.
Ae fareweel, alas forever.
Deep in heart wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
(Robert Burns 1791)
