Oh, my love is like a red, red rose

In this poem I think the speaker is comparing themselves to a rose for the fact that roses grow every year. They don't last long, but they do come up again. The love that the speaker has is so unconditional. The speaker uses the saying "Till a' the seas gang dry." To me this means that the love will never end. Because the odds of a sea going dry are very slim. I really enjoyed this poem and it did have a lot of simile in it. The author related the speakers life to many different things about nature. I feel as though the speaker had lost someone very close and when the speaker dies she will reunite with that loved one even if she has to go then thousand miles!
