Dear Joan,

Here's another Wordsworth poem that you might like. It's called "A Red, Red Rose." I think of you when I read it.

O, my love is like a red red rose that's newly sprung in June / O, my love is like the melody that's sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, so deep in love am I / And I will love thee still, my dear, till a' the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, and the rock melt wi' the sun / And I will love thee still my dear while the sands of life shall fun.

And fare thee weel, my only love! And fare thee weel awhile! And I will come again, my love, tho' it were ten thousand mile.

S.
