Robert Burns’ poem “A Red, Red Rose”, written with lyrical elegance, is an endearing expression of romantic love and affection. Part of its charm lies in its simplicity, musicality and it's use of imagery, drawing on nature and musical flow.
Reading this poem makes me think of wandering the rose gardens of Vienna with roses as far as you can see and framed by the fairytale buildings in the background. Both draw on the feelings of romance and subtle tones of being in a fairytale.
