Daily Notes on Poetry & Related Matters

April 14: No response yet to my comment on the turn at Micahel Treune's blog. Gotta work today so this entry won't have much. Just the famous Robert Burns poem below--because I want to know where the turn in it is. If there is one, my suspicion that any text whatever will inevitably have a turn in it will be confirmed.


          My Luve

          O my luve is like a red, red rose
            That's newly sprung in June;
          O my luve is like the melodie,
            That's sweetly played in tune.

          As fair art though, my bonie lass,
           So deep in luve am I;
          And I will luve thee still, my dear,
           Till a' the seas gang dry.

          Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
           And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
          And I will luve thee still, my dear,
           While the sands o' life shall run.

          And fare thee weel, my only luve!
           And fare thee weel a while!
          And I will come again, my luve,
           Tho' it were ten thousand mile.
