Freeze my heart ....

Jockie Has Taken The Parting Kiss

by Robert Burns

 

Jockie has taken the parting kiss,

Over the mountains he is gone,

And with him is all my bliss –

Nothing but grief with me remain.

 

Spare my love, you winds that blow,

Driven sleets and beating rain!

Spare my love, you feathery snow,

Drifting over the frozen plain!

 

When the shades of evening creep

Over the day's fair happy eye,

Sound and safely may he sleep,

Sweetly blythe his awakening be!

 

He will think on her he loves,

Fondly he will repeat her name;

For wherever he distant roves,

Jockie's heart is still at home.
