O, my luve is like a red, red rose.
Now's the day and now's the hour.
For thus the royal mandate ran, When first the human race began, "The social, friendly honest man, Whate'er he be, Tis he fulfils great Nature's plan, And none but he!"
If there's another world, he lives in bliss; if there is none, he made the best of this.
The lightly-jumping, glowrin' trouts, That thro' my waters play.
Hope springs exulting on triumphant wing.
