Part 2 of my tribute to Rabbie Burns. This time, instead of a political point of view, he writes about his feelings for a certain young lady, comparing it to a beautiful rose, or even the sweetest melody.
This version is sung by Kenneth McKellar.

My love is more stunning than a picket fence that I newly built in June,
To fail to praise her beauty more was an offence that left our love a ruin,
I was too slow to understand why she did so often describe it stunning,
The hint I failed to comprehend is why my love she now is shunning,
I said that Juliet could soon have found another Romeo so why the tragedy,
But now that she is gone I realise you should do all to keep your treasure in your play,
