A Red, Red Rose
by Robert Burns
Robert Burns wrote this song in the Scots language in 1794. Also referred to as My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose.

O my Luve's like a red, red rose Thatโs newly sprung in June; O my Luve's like the melodie Thatโs sweetly play'd in tune. As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I: And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till aโ the seas gang dry: Till aโ the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wiโ the sun: I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands oโ life shall run. And fare thee well, my only Luve And fare thee well, a while! And I will come again, my Luve, Thoโ it were ten thousand mile.
