This books is a collection of poetry by Robert Burns. ROBERT BURNS, also
known familiarly as Rabbie Burns, was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He
is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated
worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the
Scots language, although much of his writing is in a "light Scots
dialect" of English, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also
wrote in standard English, and in these writings his political or civil
commentary is often at its bluntest.
