.... A Red Red Rose ..

Hi Sanjana! It's nice poem but no doubt but bit complicated to understand it's meaning. Have a very nice day.

Hi San!
Yes a red rose looks something very extra-ordinary and it is considered symbol of love and affection. When we meet someone and present him/her a bouquet of red roses, it evokes an exciting reaction for the other fellow. Red colour makes you think about love and some positive emotional feelings towards the other fellow. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful poem with us.

Hello my friend sanjana_aslam Ji,

"Burns was born in Alloway, Scotland in 1759. His father, a poor tenant
farmer, tutored his sons at home and sought to provide them with as much
additional education as his resouces allowed. An avid reader, Burns
acquired a grounding in English before studying the poetry of his
Scottish heritage. During his youth Burns endured the hard work and
progressively worsening financial difficulties which beset his family as
they moved from one rented farm to another. As a young man Burns
developed a reputation for charm and wit, engaging in several love
affairs that brought him into conflict with the Presbyterian Church. He
also angered the church by criticizing such accepted beliefs as
predestination and mankind's inherent sinfulness, which he considered
incompatible with human nature. In 1786 Burns proposed marriage to Jean
Armour, who was pregnant with his twin sons. Her parents rejected his
offer and demanded financial restitution. As a result, Burns determined
to sail to the West Indies and start a new life. However, with the
successful publication that year of his 'Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish
Dialect', Burns abandoned his plans and traveled to Edinburgh, where he
was much admired in literary circles. While in Edinburgh Burns met James
Johnson, a printer involved in a project to publish all the folk songs
of Scotland. Burns subsequently traveled throughout the country,
collecting over 300 songs, which were printed in Johnson's six-volume
Scots Musical Museum (1787-1803) and George Thomson's five-volume Select
Collection of Original Airs for the Voice (1793-1818). Many of the songs
he collected were revised or edited by Burns - as with 'John Anderson
My Jo' - or, in some cases, newly written by him - as with 'A Red, Red
Rose'. One consequence of his journeys around Scotland was his rise to
national prominence and popularity. Burns finally married Armour in 1788
and divided his time between writing poetry and farming until he
obtained a government position three years later. He died from rheumatic
heart disease in 1796."
