Leve Leeglanners,

Up mien Klaus-Groth-Sied (http://www.geocities.com/grothwarken/) heff ik
maal wedder 'n Riemel bidaan: "Min Anna", 'n Leevsleed, dat mi an "My Luve's
Like a Red, Red Rose" vun d'n schottschen Dichtersmann Robert Burns dinken
maakt.

Kumpelmenten,
Reinhard/Ron

Dear Lowlanders,

I've posted another one of Klaus Groth's Lowlands Saxon (Low German) folksy
poems at my Klaus Groth site (http://www.geocities.com/grothwarken/): _Min
Anna_ ("My Anna"), one that seems vaguely reminiscent of "My Luve's Like a
Red, Red Rose" by the Scots writer Robert Burns.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron

   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 play’d in tune

   As fair art thou, my bonie lass
   So deep in luve am I
   And I will luve thee still, my Dear
   Till a’ the seas gang dry

   Till a’ the seas gang dry, my Dear
   And the rocks melt wi’ the sun!
   O I will luve thee still, my Dear
   While the sands o’ life shall run

             Robert Burns (1759–1796)
