Example :

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 bonnie 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: And I will luve thee still, my dear,   While the sands o’ life shall run

And fare-thee-weel, my only Luve,   And fare-thee-weel, a while! 

And I will come again, my Luve,   Tho’ 'twere ten thousand mile!

Red, Red Rose By Robert Burns Written in 1794

it is a poem of fourteen lines which follows a very strict rhyme pattern. It is usually divided into two parts: the “octave” (the first eight lines), and the “sestet” (the last six lines). The octave and the sestet are separated by a break in thought: a general statement made in the octave is illustrated or amplified in the sestet.
