This is one of the first songs that I sang solo.   I took a copy of the Irish version and only sang the verses that I really liked - then looked at 'The winter it is past' and found that I was singing that with the Irish chorus. It has one of the most wonderful verses which I think probably came from Burns alone. ( although - no doubt some one may disagree)

My Love is like the sun in the firmament doth run
And always is constant and true
His is like the moon that wanders up and down
And every month is new.
