Fir Ald Lang

Famous quotes containing the words fir and/or lang:

    I remember, I remember
    The fir trees dark and high;
    I used to think their slender tops
    Were close against the sky;
    It was a childish ignorance,
    But now ‘tis little joy
    To know I’m further off from Heaven
    Than when I was a boy.
    Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

    Should auld acquaintance be forgot
    And never brought to mind?
    ...
    We’ll tak a cup o’kindness yet,
    For auld lang syne.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
