to the one i love,
and the ones who loved me


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 melodie
  That's sweetly played in tune.

As fair thou art, my bonie 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;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
  While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve,
  And fare thee weel a while;
And I will come again, my luve,
  Tho'it were ten thousand mile!

                     -- Robert Burns
