My red red rose

My red red rose

 

 

Could a love be so much like a sweet flower in bloom?

Could it be the beating of your heart?

 

My dear sweet lassie you are like the love,

that sings in my heart.

 

I would place my heart in your hands,

I would place all that I am in your grace.

 

So fare thee well my sweet love,

until we meet in the glens that shadow your heart.

 

It will grow like the red red rose,

of Scotland with her wild flowers.

 

My love for you will grow more and more,

no force on earth shall quell its power.

 

For as the garden of Scotland grows,

so shall my love for you grow.

 

In all seasons you will,

make the seasons of my heart beat strong and proud.

 

So fare thee will my sweet love,

my heart does not beat without your love,

that plays in tune with your passion.

An exceptionally romantic poem to match the style of Robert Burns and speaking of his beloved Scotland! I like this Ron and the references you make to my too "Beloved Scotland". Your love burns eternal as that of a rose of love for the one you embrace!

Thank you Sheila. When I heard the song play the night I wrote this, it consumed me. The next thing I knew the poem was in front of me.
