Explore "Had I a Cave" by Robert Burns on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Tune-"Robin Adair."
Had I a cave on some wild distant shore, / Where the winds howl to the wave's dashing roar: / There would I weep my woes, / There seek my lost repose, / Till grief my eyes should close, / Ne'er to wake more!
Falsest of womankind, can'st thou declare / All thy fond, plighted vows fleeting as air! / To thy new lover hie, / Laugh o'er thy perjury; / Then in thy bosom try / What peace is there!
