Auld Lang Syne (2)
(Robert Burns)

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o' lang syne?

ch.
     And for auld lang syne, my jo,
     for auld lang syne,
     We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
     For auld lang syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint stoup!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

& c.

(In the original letter to Mrs. Dunlop the line
"And never brought to mind" was
"And never thought upon" but the above is what
he sent to Thompson for publication.) ARB
