Should old acquaintance be forgot,<\/em>
and never brought to mind?<\/em>
Should old acquaintance be forgot,<\/em>
and auld lang syne?<\/em><\/p>\n

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup!<\/em>
and surely I’ll buy mine!<\/em>
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,<\/em>
for auld lang syne.<\/em><\/p>\n

We two have run about the hills,<\/em>
and picked the daisies fine;<\/em>
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,<\/em>
since auld lang syne.<\/em><\/p>\n

We two have paddled in the stream,<\/em>
from morning sun till dine;<\/em>
But seas between us broad have roared<\/em>
since auld lang syne.<\/em><\/p>\n

And there’s a hand my trusty friend!<\/em>
And give me a hand o’ thine!<\/em>
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,<\/em>
for auld lang syne.<\/em><\/p>\n

For auld lang syne, my dear,<\/em>
for auld lang syne,<\/em>
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,<\/em>
for auld lang syne.<\/em><\/p>\n

— Robert Burns, 1788<\/p>\n\n\n
