Poems by Robert Burns

Presented by the RBWF

A red red Rose

O MY Luve 's like a red, red rose,
That 's newly sprung in June;
O my Luve 's 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 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:
I will love 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! --------
