Composed: 1810-15.

Individual item 22 from the corresponding collection, not the complete set.

Item in the set: Duet - Constancy. Andante espressivo (G minor).

Sung text (original language):
Tho’ cruel fate should bid us part
As far’s the pole and line,
Her dear idea round my heart
Would tenderly entwine.
Tho’ mountains frown, and deserts
howl,
And oceans roll between;
Yet, dearer than my deathless soul,
I still would love my Jean.

Robert Burns (1759-1796)
