  Oh my luve is like a red, red rose,

That's newly sprung in June:

Oh my luve is like the melodie,

That's sweetly play'd in tune.


As fair art thou, my bonie lass,

So deep in luve am I;

And I will luve 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 luve thee still, my dear,

While the sands o' life shall run.


And fare thee weel, my only luve!

And fare thee weel a while!

And I will come again, my luve,

Tho' it were ten thousand mile!


Robert Burns

Am I the only one who can only read this out loud in a Scottish accent? Haha.

Enchantingly melodious. Very simple yet extremely sensuous. What a metaphor and what a pen! Great imagery with a sensational style. Excellent stuff for a lover. A perfect.....10.

Lines from a man who knew instinctively how to win a womans heart. Read again, and learn, Abert: -)

My red red rose,
I will always love thee;
Even though your appearance be seasonal,
I will always love thee;
Not even the impossible
Can keep me from loving you.
This is a classical definition of love, and they are the words of a poet that refuses to die...

A beautiful love song....a love which is as fresh as the rose but promises to last forever...would be hard to resist!

One of my earliest favourite poems, Burns has a rhythm and an immediacy in verse, with concepts of eternal enduring love that appeal and intrigue the hearts and minds of many.

A young man's cry of eternal love which should not be taken too seriously by the beloved. There is a certain ominous implication in:
'As fair art thou, my bonie lass, So deep in luve am I...'
