O,my luve is like a red,red rose,
That's newly sprung in June.
O,my luve is like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou,my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I,
And I will luve thee still,my dear,
Till a the seas gang dry.
Till the seas gang dry,my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun:
And I will luve thee still,my dear,
While sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only luve,
And fare thee weel awhile:
And I will come again,my luve,
Though it were ten thousand mile!
Robert Burns (1759-1796)
