Challenge - A Red Red rose - 5

(the rose is "Black Beauty")

O, My luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;
O, my Love's like the melodie
That's sweetly played 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 l' 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.

ROBERT BURNS.

You have captured the velvety softness of the petals in this fine close up shot. A beautiful old song also to accompany it.

I feel like I could reach out and take in the softness of this rose, it is such a glorious symbol of love. Nice combination.

someone once told me that Rabbie Burns based this poem upon older traditional verses, just as Shakespeare based the ideas of some of his plays upon older ones. Either way, it's still a wonderful poem and goes so well with this beautiful rose.
