Red, Red Rose
[Hear Red, Red Rose]
1794
Type: PoemO my Luve's like a red, red rose, 
That's newly [bad word] 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; 
And I will luve thee still, my dear, 
While the sands o' life [bad word]  

And fare-thee-weel, my only Luve! 
And fare-thee-weel, a while! 
And I [bad word] again, my Luve, 
Tho' 'twere ten thousand mile!
