204. Song—Love in the Guise of Friendship

By Robert BurnsSource: Robert Burns - PoetryDB (Public Domain)48 words

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.
