Beginning with a quatrain containing two similes, the poet shows the beauty of his lover with happy, proud tone. He compares his lover to a red rose that newly spring in June and thinks she has graceful voice which is like a wonderful blend of sweet music. Here, “a red, red rose”, a lively imagery, signifies his lover’s full of youthful energy and vitality. “Sweet melody”further emphasizes the harmony, perfect of her body and even her character.
從壹首包含兩個明喻的四行詩開始，詩人用快樂、驕傲的語調展現了情人的美麗。他把他的愛人比作六月新春的壹朵紅玫瑰，認為她有著優美的嗓音，就像美妙的音樂的混合體。在這裏，“壹朵紅，壹朵紅玫瑰”是壹個生動的意象，象征著他的愛人充滿青春活力。“甜美旋律”進壹步強調了她身體乃至性格的和諧、完美。
The second and third stanza, with a cracking pace, express the poet’s blazing love. “Till the seas gang dry and the rocks melt the sun”. Used to liken faithful love, this sentence is too wonderful for words. It’s easy to find that poetic imagery has immediately changed, no longer a red rose or a moving piece, but a newer, wider and deeper mood. It has become extensive ocean, solid rock and scorching sun.?
第二節和第三節，用急促的節奏，表達了詩人熾熱的愛。“直到海水幹涸，巖石融化太陽”。用來比喻忠貞的愛情，這句話太精彩了。不難發現，詩意的意象立刻發生了變化，不再是壹朵紅玫瑰或壹幅動人的作品，而是壹種更新、寬廣、深沈的意境。它變成了廣闊的海洋，堅固的巖石和烈日。

The final stanza shows his farewell to his lover again and a promise of return. “I will come again though it was ten thousand mile”. Exaggerated words convey the poet’s infinitely affectionate feelings.
最後壹節是他再次向愛人告別，並許下了回報的諾言。“雖然有壹萬裏，我還是會再來的”。誇張的文字表達了詩人無限深情的情感。
Regardless of imagery, structure, or words, they all appear to be natural and elegant. The folk verse also doubles its sense of music. Profuse love runs through the whole poem. The entire universe can change and be destroyed, but only love can last forever.
無論是意象、結構還是文字，它們都顯得自然而優雅。民謠也使它的音樂感加倍。濃濃的愛貫穿了整首詩。整個宇宙可以改變和毀滅，但只有愛才能永恒。
