A Red, Red Rose BY ROBERT BURNS

A Red, Red Rose

BY ROBERT BURNS

O my Luve is like a red, red rose

   That’s newly sprung inJune;

O my Luve is like the melody

   That’s sweetly played intune.

So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,

   So deep in luve am I;

And I will luve thee still, my dear,

   Till a’ the seas gangdry.

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,

   And the rocks melt wi’the sun;

I will love thee still, my dear,

   While the sands o’ lifeshall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve!

   And fare thee weelawhile!

And I will come again, my luve,

   Though it were tenthousand mile.
