A Red, Red Rose


A Red, Red Rose
                        Robert Burns (1759-1796)


                         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!
