O my Luve is like a red, red rose
   That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is ______ the melody
   That’s sweetly played in tune.

So ______ art thou, my bonnie lass,
   So deep in ______ am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
   Till a’ the seas gang dry.

Till a’ ______ seas gang dry, my dear,
   And the rocks ______ wi’ the sun;
I will love thee still, my dear,
   While the sands o’ life shall run.

And ______ thee weel, my only luve!
   And fare thee ______ awhile!
And I will come again, my luve,
   ______ it were ten thousand mile.

Though fair fare like luve melt the weel
