A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns
O my love is like a red, red rose That’s newly sprung in June O my love is like the melody, That’s sweetly played in tune! As fair are you, my bonnie lass, So deep in love am I; And I will love you still, my dear, Till all the seas go dry. Till all the seas go dry, my dear And the rocks melt with the sun I will love you still, my dear, While the sands of life shall run And fare you well, my only love And fare you well a while!
