Some things never change, red roses symbolising love.
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!
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 o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only Luve!
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it were ten thousand mile
~ Robert Burns
I'll bet red roses would look good against my fur! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful card. Thank you for thinking I should have had the best part of the chicken!
This is so pretty. Love red roses.
ReplyDeleteI love this kind of classical postcard.

Isn't that beautiful?
'Twas a song he wrote, actually, I've discovered.
I'm glad you all like the card.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, it is beautiful, Max. Eddi Reader sings this one amongst all the others. There are several videos on YouTube of people singing it but I especially like one of Eddi Reader sitting on a rock by the sea, though I'm torn between versions I'll admit. But it does have to be a Scottish voice.
