Notes About The Poem

Auld Lang Syne, Scottish song with words attributed to the national poet of Scotland, Robert Burns. The composer is not definitely known. In English-speaking countries, the first verse and chorus are now closely associated with the New Year festival.

Linked Forever

Forever linked 
A gift, a diamond 
Each other’s Valentine chosen
He vows that she is love 
Love is an eternal link, 
that should never be broken
She vows tomorrow is Saint Valentine’s Day,
I a maid at your window, 
to be your Valentine

Physically joined now 
a sweet memory to be cherished
A gift to one another, 
A diamond in time
Linked like the nascent Scottish tongue, 
from auld lang syne
