Poems by Robert Burns

Presented by the RBWF

For the sake o’ Somebody——

MY heart is sair, I dare na tell,
My heart is sair for Somebody;
I could wake a winter-night
For the sake o' Somebody.----
Oh-hon! for Somebody!
Oh-hey! for Somebody!
I could range the warld round,
For the sake o' Somebody.----

Ye Powers that smile on virtuous love,
O, sweetly smile on Somebody!
Frae ilka danger keep him free,
And send me safe my Somebody.----
Ohon! for Somebody!
Ohey! for Somebody!
I wad do--------what wad I not--------
For the sake o' Somebody!
