rose, some to a different color or some will not even compare or express there love through flowers or nature but as we look at Burns' first stanza he surely compares himself, his emotions with a piece of nature. O my Luve's like a red, red rose, That's newly sprung in June; O my Luve's like the melodie That's sweetly played in tune. (1-4)With this stanza he is expressing his love to her with a red rose and maybe he chose a red rose as a color of his heart, that he is giving her his heart, there a many possibilities. In the second line, with the month of June, maybe that is when roses are in full bloom and are looking their best and so he wants to give this young lady a "perfect" rose just as their love is for each other. Also it is in a way saying that their deep love for each other has just come about in June, just like the recently bloomed rose. So he is comparing his love to a rose, something that is natural just as his love is for her. In the third and fourth lines he telling her that his love for her is like when a piano is in tune and played with the right chords that it is a very sweet sound and thought. Another possibility of how he feels his love is for her is how sweet the rose smells, almost indescribable but she knows. Maybe he chose to give her a rose because of all the wonderful interpretations she may have from a single rose. It appears that he knew what nature has to offer and that a single red rose by its self could say more about his love towards her than any words he can say. Wordsworth and Burns both choose to use nature in their writings to get the point across that they want, it may be in different ways or reasons but it still has the center of attention on nature....
