"A red rose" begins with a quatrain two comparisons. Burns compares his love with a rose in spring, then with a sweet melody. They are very popular poetic images and this is the stanza most commonly cited the poem.

The second and third stanzas become increasingly complex, ending with the metaphor of "the arena of life "or hourglass. One side gives us the lasting image of his love to the sea and dry rocks melt with the sun, wonder pictures poetic. On the other hand Burns reminds us of the passage of time and the resulting changes. This recalls the first stanza and its image of a red rose, just born in June, we know from experience will change and deterioration over time. These are complex and competing images, typical of the more mature Robert Burns.

So deep in luve am I;
And I love you still, my dear,
A'the seas dry.

Until a "sea of strip dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi 'the sun:
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While Arena will o'life.

And I will luve WEEL my only!
Y WEEL you rate a bit!
And I come back, my luve,
Tho 'ten thousand miles away!

Nobody can remember this song?

It was the Titanic and we used to sing in a music class in 1975 !!!!!!!!!!! I loved the song and I was wondering if anyone remembers him? Here are the lyrics ……… Oh, they built the Titanic, to sail the ocean blue and thought it was a ship that water could pass, but the good Lord raised his hand, said the ship Never Land. It is sad when the ship large field. Chorus: Oh, it was sad, so sad It's sad when the great ship went down to the bottom of the sea (Husbands and wives, children have lost their lives) It's sad when the great ship to the ground. Oh, they were not far from shore when they heard a rumble powerful and the rich refused to associate with the poor, to bring them down where they would be first to go was sad when the great ship went down. I'm sure it was more just that I do not remember everything:)
