A Red, Red Rose
By Robert Burns
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.
Ah, a blood red rose.
I blow to thee
Sir Maverick
for such lovely prose.

I like the glow of the second rose. I had forgtten this line “… And the rocks melt wi’ the sun …” and was surprised by how powerful it struck me. I’m glad you chose this poem/song.

You’re welcome. The rose is absolutely gorgeous, “I knew the intent immediately”, said Scarlett. More like an extra-extra long weekend. 😉 I’m wishing you a fabulous time, which I know you will have. Please be well and take good care while you’re away. Enjoy yourself! Have a marvelous evening. *A Dozen Hugs* ❤
