Robert Burns - Fragment,—Why, Why Tell The Lover lyrics
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?
