That's newly sprung in June:
My love is like the melody
That's sweetly played in tune.

So deep in love am I;

Till all the seas gang dry.

While the sands of life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only love.
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my love,
Though it were ten thousand mile. — Robert Burns
