Short Love Poem ~ A Red, Red Rose
by Robert Burns
 
"A Red, Red Rose"

O my Love's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;
O my Love's like the melody
That's sweetly play'd in tune!
As fair thou art, 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 with the sun;
I will love thee still my dear
When the sands of life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only Love,
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my Love,
Thou' it were ten thousand mile.
