Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi’ the sun!
And 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!
直到四海涸竭，亲爱的， 直到太阳把岩石消熔！ 我会永远爱你，亲爱的， 只要生命无穷。
再见吧，我唯一的爱人， 再见吧，小别片刻！ 我会回来的，我的爱人， 即使万里相隔！
Question 1
• How dose the narrator in the love song express his love? • Using many figures of speeches: simile, metaphor, repetition,
O, my luve is 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.
Burns’ features
• His great success was largely due to his comprehensive knowledge and excellent mastery of the old song traditions.
