Rev's blog: "Robert Burns"

Robert Burns

Scotland's national poet Robert Burns was born on the 25th of January, 1759. In Scotland we celebrate his birth by having a bit of a party, eating haggis, drinking whisky and reciting his poetry. Burns died on the 21st of July 1796 and his works are still read world wide. Burns wrote in the Scot's dialect, which isn't always easily understood - even by Scottish people! My favourite Burns poem is: My Luve is like a 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. As fair art thou, my bonie 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 a while! And I will come again, my Luve, Tho' it were ten thousand mile! In standard English it translates as: O, my love is like a red, red rose, That is newly sprung in June. O, my love is like the melody, That is sweetly played in tune. As fair are you, my lovely lass, So deep in love am I, And I will love you still, my Dear, Till all the seas go dry. Till all the seas go dry, my Dear, And the rocks melt with the sun! O I will love you still, my Dear, While the sands of life shall run. And fare you well, my only Love, And fare you well a while! And I will come again, my Love, Although it were ten thousand mile! Happy Burns Day!
