Why, Why Tell The Lover (Fragment)

________________________________________________
Title:     Why, Why Tell The Lover (Fragment)
Author: Robert Burns [More Titles by Burns]

[Tune-"Caledonian Hunt's delight."]


Why, why tell thy lover
Bliss he never must enjoy"?
Why, why undeceive him,
And give all his hopes the lie?
O why, while fancy, raptur'd slumbers,
Chloris, Chloris all the theme,
Why, why would'st thou, cruel-
Wake thy lover from his dream?






-THE END-
Robert Burns' poem: Why, Why Tell The Lover (Fragment)
