9. A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns
My love is like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June ;
My love is like the melody
That's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I :
And I will love 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 love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee week, my only love,
And fare thee weel a while !
And I will come again, my love,
Thou' it were ten thousand mile.
