Auld Lang Syne Poem by Robert Burns
Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!
Chorus - For auld land syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And surely ye'll be your pint stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
Chorus...
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit
Sin' auld lang syne.
Chorus...
We twa hae paidl'd in the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us briad hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.
Chorus...
And there's a hand, my trusty fere!
And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak' a right gude-willie waught,
For auld lang syne.
Chorus...
comment #3: ok, maybe more than 100 IF we count music and poetry historians...from Scotland! ! ! AND I say there is a typo in line 5. bri : )
comment #2: In the U.S. I doubt there are not more than a hundred people know what the words are, not to mention (ha ha) what the words mean.
comment #1; 'The words auld lang syne literally mean "old long since, " though in practice it means "old times, especially times fondly remembered, " as well as an "old or long friendship." It's from the Scots language, and the expression was first recorded in 1660-1680.'
Finest poem all time, most deserving as The CLASSIC poem of the day. TFS. Top Marks for the famous Song poem by Robert Burns

How many of us (including English!) have sung this at New Year without knowing that it was by Robert Burns. I was delighted to read the other verses - like most people I imagine I didn't know it had any.
Silly person! Everyone knows who penned it!
Everybody knows who this piece was written by!
You
You were so right. Not everyone knows!
