Romantic Movement(1780-1830) Preview wok (about the movment) Background information Robert Burns was a poor but educated man, a
great poet for songs and lyrics(抒情诗), He lived a
very short life, from 1759 to 1796, but his life
journey through poverty, informal education,
disappointed love, nationalism, and literary success
can be remembered by all Scots and people all over
the world. He is now considered a
national poet of Scotland. Background information ‘A Red, Red Rose’ is probably the most famous of all
English love poems. The poem is supposed to be a
song sung by an Irish sailor to his sweetheart before
his ship sailed off to sea. Burns revised it to show
his faithful love to his Jean. And the song inspired
many poets and lovers in China.
And fare thee weel, my only Luve,
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.
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 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 luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run. A Red, Red Rose

Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams,
