With an Introduction by Donald McFarlan. Robert Burns, the most recognizable of all Scottish poets, is remembered with great devotion - his birthday on January 25th stirs passion and celebration among Scots and many others around the world. Born in 1759 into dire rural poverty, by the age of eighteen he had gained a good knowledge of both classical and English literature.
In June 1786, his first collection of poems, Poems Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, which included To a Mouse and The Saturday Night Sewer, was met with great acclaim from all social classes. His later poems and ballads include AULD LANG SYNE, the beautiful song My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose, The Highland Mary, Scots Wha Hae, and his masterpiece, Tam o' Shanter.
