MY JEAN by ROBERT BURNS

Poet Analysis

First Line: THOUGH CRUEL FATE SHOULD BID US PART
Last Line: I STILL WOULD LOVE MY JEAN.
Subject(s): ABSENCE; LOVE; SEPARATION; ISOLATION;
Though cruel fate should bid us part,
Far as the pole and line,
Her dear idea round my heart,
Should tenderly entwine.
Tho' mountains, rise, and deserts howl,
And oceans roar between;
Yet, dearer than my deathless soul,
I still would love my Jean.
