3 Responses to “What is the theme of Robert Burns’s poem “A Red, Red Rose?”?”

  • sweetpea:

    The theme of Burns’s poem is, yes, about love. Burns uses two metaphors to define his love for the lady of his affections– both a rose, and a melody “sweetly play’d in tune”. It seems as though he’s leaving for a period of time, and this is a farewell poem to his lass. However, before he leaves, he is declaring his undying devotion, saying that the oceans will dry up before his love for her runs out. A simple, yet classic love poem.

  • old lady:

    Have you read the poem?
    He’s writing about love, of course, and the kind of love that endures, even though the lovers may not be together.
