THE POEM: 

A Red, Red Rose 🌹 - BY ROBERT BURNS


O my love's like a red, red rose,

That's newly sprung in June;

O my love's like the melodie

That's sweetly played in tune.


As fair art thou, 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:

O I will love thee still, my dear,

While the sands o' life shall run.


And fare thee well, my only love,

And fare thee well awhile!

And I will come again, my love,

Though it were ten thousand mile.
