Today, on the birthday of Robert Burns (1759-1796), I post the words of his beautiful and heart-tugging verse, as well as this painting (created long ago for the cover of a CD by musicians Linn Barnes and Allison Hampton), because a romantic rugged landscape with a castle and a red, red rose\u2014albeit a Lancaster Rose\u2014says \u201cRobert Burns\u201d to me.<\/p>\n

If you have your hankie ready, you can listen to it sung by Scottish singer Andy Stewart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For another Robert Burns verse and a sketch, please see Call the Ewes to the Hills<\/a><\/em>; for a mini-bio and a comic, please see Move Yer Hurdies<\/a><\/em>. And pour yourself a wee dram o\u2019 whisky.<\/p>\n

O, my luve\u2019s like a red, red rose,
\nThat\u2019s newly sprung in June:
\nO, my luve\u2019s like the melodie,
\nThat\u2019s sweetly play\u2019d in tune.<\/p>\n

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
\nSo deep in luve am I:
\nAnd I will luve thee still, my dear,
\nTill a\u2019 the seas gang dry.<\/p>\n

Till a\u2019 the seas gang dry, my dear,
\nAnd the rocks melt wi\u2019 the sun!
\nO I will luve thee still, my dear,
\nWhile the sands o\u2019 life shall run.<\/p>\n

And fare thee weel, my only luve!
\nAnd fare thee weel a while!
\nAnd I will come again, my luve,
\nTho\u2019 it were ten thousand mile.<\/p>\n
