Song—The Winter it is Past

by Robert Burns, 1788

The winter it is past, and the summer comes at last
  And the small birds, they sing on ev'ry tree;
Now ev'ry thing is glad, while I am very sad,
  Since my true love is parted from me.

The rose upon the breer, by the waters running clear,
  May have charms for the linnet or the bee;
Their little loves are blest, and their little hearts at rest,
  But my true love is parted from me.
