What kind of love is Burns expressing in "A Red, Red Rose"?

Burns is
expressing romantic love in "." As the poem's title indicates, he is at the height of
being head-over-heels in love. The red, red rose is afor his feeling of his love being in the
fullest possible bloom. It is at its peak, just as a rose is in the month of June.

Burns captures how love feels when one is most intensely and passionately in love. Not
only is it like the most beautiful red rose, it is like a sweet melody. Further, when one is
deeply in love, one feels as the speaker does, that the love will last even to point that the
seas go dry or the rocks melt in the sun. It seems incomprehensible that such a powerful emotion
could ever fade.

While the lover is saying a temporary farewell to the
beloved, he looks forward to seeing her again. He is convinced he will do so, for he would
travel 10,000 miles to find her.

However, there is an underlying fragility in
the bloom of the red, red rose: it can only fade, which adds an undertone of poignance to the
poem. Will the lover's passion ever be at this peak again?
