So, if you were given that fateful Desert Island Discs choice of which one would you save from the wreck, what would you choose? There is enough consistency about my preferences to say that it would have to be a love song by Robert Burns. Can anyone come up with a better 4 lines than:
Not vernal showers to budding flowers
Not autumn to the farmer
So dear can be as thou to me
My fair, my lovely charmer
Not autumn to the farmer
So dear can be as thou to me
My fair, my lovely charmer
Here is the definitive version.
