The second plus third stanzas become extremely complex, ending with the metaphor of the "sands of life, " and hourglass. One the one hand people are given the image connected with his love lasting prior to the seas run dry and the rocks melt with sunlight, wonderfully poetic images. However Burns reminds us of your passage of time and the changes that result. That recalls the most important stanza and its image from the red rose, newly leapt in June, which we all know from experience will change and decay in time. These are complex and even competing images, typical of your more mature Robert Burns up.
