A Red, Red Rose

O, my luve’s like a red, red rose,
 That’s newly sprung in June:
O, my luve’s like the melodie
 That’s sweetly play’d in tune.

As fair art thou, 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:
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 awhile!
And I will come again, my luve,
 Tho’ it were ten thousand mile!
