My Love is Like a Red Red Rose
februari 19th, 2006
My love is like a red red rose
That’s newly sprung in June:
My love is like the melody
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.
As fair art thous, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I:
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun.
And I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only love,
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my love,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.
Robert Burns
(january 25th 1759 – july 21st 1796)
