Back to My love is lost to me


MY LOVE IS LOST TO ME. Scottish. This tune by James Oswald is a version of "O As I Was Kiss'd Yestreen (1)," believes Bayard (1981), and should also be compared with "Princess Royal (1) (The)," or "Arethusa (The)," an O'Carolan composition. It was used by Robert Burns as the vehicle for his lyric "O were I on Parnassus' Hill."

Source for notated version:

Printed sources: Oswald (Caledonian Pocket Companion, vol. 1), c. 1780; p. 157. Oswald (Caledonian Pocket Companion, Book 5), c. 1760; p. 25.
