A Good Read

Last night I was reading a book that i am enjoying quite a lot.  It is not a big important book, or a piece of literary genius.  It is a quite little romance book that my daughter recommended to me.  

I am enjoying the characters, the setting and the writing is quite good for a romance novel.  Now I happen to like a well written romance.

One of the chapters was set in Scotland and this beautiful little poem by Robert Burns was used in this chapter.  So here is the poem:  Red Red Rose

                 

O my luve’s like a red, red rose

That’s newly sprung in June;

O my luve’s like the melodie

That’s sweetly play’d in tune.

 

A 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;

O I will luve thee still, my dear

While the sands o’ life shall run.

 

And fare-thee-weel, my only Luve!

 And fare-thee-weel awhile!

And I will come again, my luve,

Tho’ ‘twere ten thousand miles.

 

O my luve’s like a red, red rose,

That’s newly sprung in June;

O my luve’s like the melodie

That’s sweetly play’d in tune.
