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.
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.

When you are old and grey and full of sleep ,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book.
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look ,
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep.
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And love your beauty with love false or true.
But one man love the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrow of your changing face.
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
