DADChoose the best answer A Red, Red Rose
by Robert Burns
O my luve(love) 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(you) art (are) , 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(go) dry, my dear , An the rocks melt wi’ (with) the sun; And I will luve thee(you) still , my dear, While the sands o’life shall run.
And fare thee weel(well),my only luve, And fare thee weel awhile; And I will come again, my luve, tho’it were ten thousand mile!
