Red

My love is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June :
My love is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I :
And I will love 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 :
And I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only love,
And fare thee weel a while !
And I will come again, my love,
Thou’ it were ten thousand mile.

Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns

A beautiful little bud, lovely details Johnny... must be an oldie with a scent!

Both shots are beautiful; they give us the hope of a lovely fully opened rose. Well done.

The darling buds of June!? You do feel the pent up energy waiting to burst forth. About the only poem of Burns I like, oops I shouldn't have said that...

Just about to burst and its got protection in those spikes to make sure no one gets in its way.
Shoul dbe safe, there is not much chance of the seas drying-up any time soon.
