Fantastic love song depicting joy on finding ones love and sense of jubilation that follows and acute pain over severing relations with that love and parting for ever. A great classic and well deserved classic poem of the day.

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever; Ae farewell, and then forever! // superb and beautiful
Lovely love poem that vividly captures the joys and sorrows of a relationship.

But to see her was to love her; 12 Love but her, and love forever., .....A beautiful poem by Robert Burns.
Great love poem depicting joy of finding love and pains given by love lost.
Good poem embellished in an octave of three equal stanzas. Beautiful rhyme scheme of Aa, bb, cc. dd in the first Octave. SylvaOnyema Uba
Another beautiful love poem from the Bard, beautiful when sung.
The Scottish spelling only adds to the charm of this love poem by the great Robert Burns! Aptly chosen as Poem of the Day.
