O My Luve’s 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 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 well, my only Luve
And fare thee well, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.

It's the 2nd of August in the Pacific NW. 20 miles South of Seattle Washington and 60 miles from the top of Mount Rainier..14,410 .. It's 93 degrees in the hottest summer I can remember...I climbed Mount Rainier 36 years ago, August 1, 1979.. The world gets me down... too much conflict in the world... Things are not going very well for the Earth...I think back to cool Scotland...To old friends now dead, to family who has passed on...Are the old days always better... With most of my life in the rearview mirror I would say so... This song cheer me... a wonderful song by a sweet and clear voice from afar...Jean died almost a year ago... but the warmth of her soul comes through.... God Bless All Here...

The tune Mr. Burns composed his lyric to, indicating so in both editions of his poems, was "I had a horse, I had nae mair," song #185 in the Scots Musical Museum. This air that Ms. Redpath sings, "Port Gordon," by Rory Dall O'Cahan, he indicated for publication in the Museum in 1792 - they preferred not to repeat tunes. "I had a horse" is still a better vehicle for the song, with trademark moments of prosody: he matches "waving grain" to a double grace note and the moorcock "springs" an octave! No one has yet recorded this melody. Gaughan's version is stunning but that melody has nothing to do with Burns.

@ianbrooksbank Thanks, Ian. This is wonderful information. Love to hear Gaughan. Glad to put Jean's work on youtube (if she drops a line--told she lives near by in Asheville NC). Rather use her images than mine. This piece is filler; I loved the song to share. Burns in this lyric is the perfect poet of the world. I'm a mixed fan of Hovey's work; Jean is glorious. Piano...blah; not very Burns I suspect. Even so this arrangement and the rest of the album are understated glories.
