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 played in tune

As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will love 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:
OI will love thee still, my dear.
While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only live!
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my luve.
Tho' it were ten thousand mile!

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A and B only

The correct answer is Option (4) → A and B only

• A. The poet compares his lady love to a melody: This is true, as the first two lines directly compare his love to a melody played in tune.
• B. The poet is deeply in love: This is also evident throughout the poem. He expresses his deep love with phrases like "so deep in luve am I" and vows to love her "till a' the seas gang dry."
• C. The poet loves red roses: While the poem mentions red roses, it's not about his love for them specifically. The rose serves as a metaphor for his love's freshness and beauty.
• D. The poet's love will disappear with old age: The poem actually expresses the opposite sentiment. He promises to love her "till a' the seas gang dry," implying his love will last forever.
• E. The poet has travelled a long distance to meet his lady love: There's no indication of travel in the poem. The line "And I will come again, my luve" suggests a future meeting, but not necessarily a long journey.
