On looking in the book "The Complete Works of Robert Burns" bu William P. Nimmo for the song written to the tune of "Robin Adair" I also found another written by Robert Burns to the tune of "Robin Adair" which was called "Had I a Cave". The note on the poem was -
"Mr. Alexander Cunningham, a writer to the signet in Edinburgh, and a warm friend of the poet's, had wooed and, as he thought, won, a young lady of great beauty and accomplishments; but another lover having presented himself, with weightier claims to her regard than poor Cunningham possessed."
