He lived a very short life, from 1759 to 1796, but his life journey through poverty, informal education, disappointed love, nationalism, and literary and financial success can be identified by all Scots and people all over the world. He has become almost a national symbol of all things Scottish.Robert Burns4青苗学班B Brief introduction of the poem•The poem consists of four verses. Each verse has four lines.•A Red Red Rose is composed from the Scotland folk music.•Profuse love runs through the whole poem.•The entire universe can change and be destroyed, but only love can last forever.5青苗学班BTheme•Love and Passion•Burns used so many writing techniques which have been mentioned above to fully express his deep love to his lover.6青苗学班B Lexical features•Basing on the tradition of folk music, Burns made a combination of poems and folk songs. A Red Red Rose is composed from the Scotland folk music. Therefore there are many archaic words (Scotland dialects and abbreviations) in the poem.•For example:•O = oh, luve = love, thou = you, art = are, thee = you, a’ = all, wi’ = will, tho = though, melodie = melody. •The use of those archaic words not only makes the poem simple and unadorned, but also makes the poem moving and give off rural flavors. In addition, Burns chose “newly” and “sweetly” in the first verse to express his praise and admiration to his lover, which makes a deep impression in the readers.7青苗学班BFigures of speech•Burns used a lot of figures of speech in this poem, such as, simile, metaphor, hyperbole, repetition, symbolism and so on. The using of figures of speech makes the readers feel moved by the love theme. 8青苗学班BalliterationsymbolismrepetitionhyperboleMetaphorsimileRhetorical devices9青苗学班B Simile•In the first stanza Burns used two similes. One is to compare his lover to a just-blossoming rose in June, which is a very special and beautiful flower. The first simile shapes a young lady just like the red rose, who has a good figure, a beautiful face, elegant character and a light pleasant fragrance. The other simile is to compare his lover to a sweet melody, which makes him forget everything around him. The two simile describe the young lady’s beauty perfectly as if she was standing in front of the readers and she could be heard just like a sweet melody.•By the two similes, the poet expressed his love and his appreciation to his lover frankly.•O my Luve' s like a red, red rose•呵，我的爱人像朵红红的玫瑰花•That' s newly sprung in June;•在六月迎风初放;•O my Luve' s like the melodie,•呵，我的爱人像支甜关的曲子•That' s sweetly play' d in tune.•演奏得和谐绵长。

10青苗学班BMetaphor•Burns used a metaphor to enhance his deep feelings to his Jean. • In this clause “While the sand o’ life shall run”, “sand o’ life” refers to the sand in the hourglass, which means time.•But the sand in the hourglass keep the same without any change. •That a good metaphor which could expressed the poet’s faithful love to his young lady Jean. His love wouldn’t change a bit during his whole life.•I will hive thee still，，my dear,•亲爱的，我将爱你，•While the sands o' life? shall run.•直到沧海变成桑田。

11青苗学班BHyperbole•Burns used hyperbole which shows his faithful love to Jean.•Those situations never happen in a human’s short lifespan. •Human’s long history is just a short period in the universe. •The seas going dry and the rocks melting with the sun is the beautiful dream pursuing by the young people who fall in love deeply. In addition, young people can’t find other words to express their deep feelings to the one they loved.•Till a' the seas gangs dry,•直到海枯，•And the rocks melt wi' the sun;•直到石烂;•While the sands o' life? shall run.•直到沧海变成桑田。

•Thou' it were ten thousand mile!•永份不稗????12青苗学班B Repetition•A red, red rose•In the title of the poem, Burns used the word “red” twice, which gives a deep impression to his readers that his lover is such a beautiful woman that looks just like a red red rose. •The word “luve” repeated seven times in this poem.• It is not just a simple repetition but has a special purpose. This repetition of “luve” stands for different meaning, such as “lover”, “love feeling” and “love” (as a verb). •Burns made a repetition of the sentence pattern “O my luve is like…” Then he repeated “And I will luve thee still my dear” and “Till a’ the seas gang dry”. In the last verse, Burns repeatedly used “fare thee weel”. What’s more, Burns used “my luve” throughout the whole poem, and he repeated to use “my dear ” for three times, which makes the readers just feel that they have heard the voice of the poet’s calling “my luve/ dear”.•Those all make contribution to the poem’s musical beauty.13青苗学班BSymbolism•The rocks, seas, the sun, the hourglass all symbolize the endless love. By means of symbolism, the poet expressed his keen, faithful and everlasting love to Jean.•The sun in this poem symbolizes the keen and warm love to his lover. •The seas symbolize the never ending love to his lover. •And the hourglass symbolizes the everlasting love to his lover.14青苗学班BAlliteration•Alliteration is the repetition of the initial consonant cluster in stressed syllables. •"luve” and "like” in the first and third line, "red”and "red”in the title and the first line, and "weel” and "while” in the third last line in the last stanza. •The use of this phonetic patterning could make the poem a harmonious unity, which will impress and affect readers.• And such repetition makes it very easy to memorize and recite this love song.15青苗学班BRhyme scheme •Rhyme, is defined in Concise Oxford Dictionary as "identity of sounds between words or verse lines extending back from the end to the last fully accented vowel and not further”. 16青苗学班BThe odd-number verse lines are written in tetrameter, and the even-number verse lines are written in trimester.•And those lines fit the rhyme with each other, with their foot rhyme abcb. The iambic foot which is made up of unstressed-stressed syllables expresses the poet’s deep feeling to his lover. 17青苗学班BConclusion •In conclusion, this is one of Burns’ popular love lyrics and is also a good example of how the poet made use of old Scottish ballad and created immortal lines by revising the old folk material. The extreme simplicity of the language and the charming rhythmic beat of the verse express better than anything else the poet’s true sentiments toward his beloved.18青苗学班B19青苗学班B。
