Till all the Seas Gang Dry by Robert Burns - A love poem
for Robert Burns Day January 25, 2011:



TILL ALL THE SEAS GANG DRY

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 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 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,

Though it were ten thousand mile.

By Robert Burns

(from poetry book “One Thousand Beautiful Things” by Arthur Mee)
