A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns
O my love is like a red, red roseThat’s newly sprung in JuneO my love is like the melody,That’s sweetly played in tune!
As fair are you, my bonnie lass,So deep in love am I;And I will love you still, my dear,Till all the seas go dry.
Till all the seas go dry, my dearAnd the rocks melt with the sunI will love you still, my dear,While the sands of life shall run
And fare you well, my only loveAnd fare you well a while!And I will come again, my love,Though it were ten thousand mile

The old things symbolize the most valuable thing, friendship, which needs to be cherished.
