That's newly sprung in June- The speaker begins the poem with a common simile by saying his love is like a really red rose that is "newly sprung in June." In other words, the speaker's love is like a flower that has just emerged from the ground.

That's sweetly play'd in tune!- The speaker uses another simile by comparing his love to a melodie (melody)  that is "sweetly play'd in tune."The speaker's love then, is like a song that is played just right, so right in fact that it's kind of sweet.]]> 2018-01-03 07:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218434511 aawilkins18 https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218434616  Lines 5-6 -As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, 
So deep in luve am I- The speaker says he is as "deep in luve" as the "bonnie lass" is fair. Bonnie as well as fair means beautiful or attractive. Lass means a girl or female.]]> 2018-01-03 07:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218434616 aawilkins18 https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218435057 Lines 7-8- And I will luve thee still, my dear, 
Till a' the seas gang dry- The speaker says he will "luve" his "bonnie lass" until all the seas dry up, which will never occur, therefore his love is everlasting.]]> 2018-01-03 07:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218435057 aawilkins18 https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218435429 Lines 9-10-Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun- The speaker tells us again that he will love his "bonnie lass" until the seas "gang dry";  Again, the speaker is reinforcing the fact that he will love his bonnie lass for eternity by saying his love will last until the rocks melt with the sun, since this is impossible to scientific reasons.]]> 2018-01-03 08:03:32 UTC https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218435429 aawilkins18 https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218436403 Lines 11-12-I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run. Again, the speaker pledges that he will love his lass for as long as he lives, to be exact. That's where that "sands o' life shall run" comes in. It means, "while I'm still alive." So the metaphor here is of an hourglass.]]> 2018-01-03 08:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218436403 aawilkins18 https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218436981 Lines 13-14- And fare thee weel, my only Luve,

Tho' it were ten thousand mile.- The speaker says his final farewell; he tells his Luve that he will come again. Then uses a hyperbole of how he will come again even if he has to walk ten thousand miles. This is his final expression about how madly in love he is.]]> 2018-01-03 08:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218438396 aawilkins18 https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218882881 c]]> 2018-01-05 04:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218882881 aawilkins18 https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218884418 The speaker is the poet himself, talking about his beloved, Jean Armour, a Scottish woman with whom he was deeply in love with. ]]> 2018-01-05 04:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218884418 aawilkins18 https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218884464 The title of the poem “A Red, Red Rose” is about love that will never die even if the whole world is destroyed – actually a hyperbolic expression.]]> 2018-01-05 04:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218884464 aawilkins18 https://padlet.com/aawilkins18/fm31p2ucn7z7/wish/218884469 The poet has written this poem in the form of a ballad, and divided it into four stanzas with four lines in each stanza.
