My family has a small cabin tucked away within the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The place has been a happy place for many generations of our family where we could vacation or just get away from society. The fireplaces reads upon its face "Thine be Ilka Joy and Treasure, Peace, Enjoyment, Love, and Pleasure.". This sacred place almost burned down in the caldor fire in 2021, this song is what gave us hope, this song saved us.

I think this is best version I’ve heard. Poor old Nancy, but she brought us this beautiful song.

[petershand]

One of the most honest and beautiful performances of this song. Three musicians in total harmony with the song and its sentiment.

[tkaultopbd]

Beautiful voice and the musicians are also outstanding. Thank you for posting.

I thought that Karen Matheson had this one I heard this. An absolutely stunning rendition of one of the most poignant yet beautiful songs ever written

Everything about this is fantastic, but Robyn Stapleton's dynamics are just wonderful. She has few peers.

[MacMcCaskill]

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever;
Ae fareweel, alas, for ever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
Who shall say that Fortune grieves him,
While the star of hope she leaves him?
Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me;
Dark despair around benights me.

I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy,
Naething could resist my Nancy:
But to see her was to love her;
Love but her, and love for ever.
Had we never lov'd sae kindly,
Had we never lov'd 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!
Thine be ilka joy and treasure,
Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure!
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!
Ae fareweel alas, for ever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.

Written a long time before AT LAST, but both make me greet.

This is one of my favorite Robyn Stapleton songs and one of the best versions of this beautiful song.

Stunning rendition, well sung Robyn and great accompaniment.

I cry for my dear mom everyone I hear this version. I miss her, my best friend, so much.

[jimstirling]

beautiful version of a beautiful song. I don't think there is a better song about lost love, not bad for a song written 233yrs ago
