++The Red, Red Rose by ROBERT BURNS++

=ANALYSIS=

Literally, in the 1st stanza, the persona is comparing his love to a flower that is a rose which bloom in June. He also signifies his love like a song that is nicely played in rhythm. His love that is toward a lady will stay until the seas go dry as pictured in 2nd stanza. Not only the seas, but the rocks will melt as well. On the last stanza, he finally wants to go away from her love and saying farewell. However, he willcome again although it were ten thousand miles.

Metaphorically, this poem is a about a man who is deeply and madly in love with a girl. This is proven when he compares his love to the red rose. The rose is showed as ‘red, red’ rose which pictures the beauty of the rose. The rose symbolizes the passionate, the faith and the madness of the persona’s feelings of love towards his girlfriend. He also represents his love as smooth and amazing like the melody. “O, my luve’s like the melodie, That’s sweetly play’d in tune”. He is exaggerating his depth of love by saying that he will love her until the seas gang dry. He uses the hyperbole and the comparison of his love and the seas mean that his love is for eternity. He also exaggerates or using hyperbole when he compares his love to the rocks and the sand. On the other hand, he has to live his girlfriend and promises that he will come back no matter, how far he goes. “And I will come again, my Luve, Tho’it were ten thousand miles".

=THEME=

Because modern readers are well familiar with the poetic imagery that Burns uses in this poem, and also because "A Red, Red Rose" was originally written to be sung as popular music, some of the poem's impact may be lost to the contemporary audience. The poem expresses love, but it does not try to stir up deep feelings of passion—instead, it reminds readers of love, making the speaker's feelings sound more theoretical than real

=MORAL VALUE =

This poem I wandered lonely as a cloud is about loneliness and home sickness. It describe how someone feel when in the foreign place. The moral values of these poems is someone should facing the life challenge bravely. Although we are not familiar with the foreign place, we cant giving up, and should bravely facing the challenging. In the poems, Wiliam Wordsworth describe a situation of foreign place, and this metaphor with his home sickness. When someone leave their hometown and having a life in foreign place, we have to facing all the life challenge individuality, nobody can help you, thus, we have to facing the life challenging bravely.
Besides that, the other moral values of the poems is depend on oneself. Like what have already mention in above, people have to learn independent. We have to do all the works by ourselves, cant depend to others people. In the foreign place, nobody can help us, we have to do all the works by ourselves, and it will let people more mature than others.
I wandered lonely as a cloud giving us a positive information, life is full of changing, we have to facing life by using our positive point of view. Although life is difficult, we also have to facing it, because trouble is also a part of life.
