A Red, Red Rose

A Red, Red RoseBy 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.

I think it's about a man talking about how much he loves a girl and that he would do anything and would even travel ten thousands miles to be with her. And if anything were to happen he would still and always love her.

"And I will come again, my luve, Though it were ten thousand mile".- He would travel really far to be with her.

"O my luve is like a red, red rose".- He is maybe referring to the rose as the girl he loves.
