About this book
Scotland's national poet gave the world some of the best-loved songs and poems in the language, from the New Year's anthem 'Auld Lang Syne' to 'A Red, Red Rose,' 'To a Mouse,' and 'Tam o' Shanter.' Writing in warm Scots dialect, Burns celebrated love, friendship, nature, and the dignity of common people, blending tenderness, humor, and radical sympathy for the poor. His verse is by turns romantic, satirical, and rousing, rooted in the folk songs and life of the Scottish countryside. Beloved around the world and sung every New Year's Eve, the poems and songs of Robert Burns remain a treasure of feeling, music, and humanity.
