Love In The Guise Of Friendship a poem written by Robert Burns
Love In The Guise Of Friendship Robert Burns Talk not of love, it gives me pain, For love has been my foe; He bound me in an iron chain, And plung d me deep in woe. But friendship s pure and lasting joys, My heart was form d to prove; There, welcome win and wear the prize, But never talk of love. Your friendship much can make me blest, O why that bliss destroy Why urge the only, one request You know I will deny Your thought, if Love must harbour there, Conceal it in that thought; Nor cause me from my bosom tear The very friend I sought.
