Literagram#3: Robert Burns’ A Red, Red Rose

Posted on 13. Jan, 2012 by Dan in Blog, Literagrams

A rose by two different names probably really is more red.

Robert Burns’  A Red, Red Rose

O my Luve is like a red, red rose

 That’s newly sprung in June;

O my Luve is like the melody

   That’s sweetly played in tune.

So 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 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 awhile!

And I will come again, my luve,

   Though it were ten thousand mile.

Look more to the side, Burns
