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.

About Robert Burns

Robert Burns (1759–1796) had no schooling beyond a village school his father helped establish. He added a season of mathematics at Kirkoswald and tutoring at home. Born at Alloway, near Ayr, to William Burnes, a gardener turned tenant farmer, and Agnes Brown, he farmed, wrote, and later took work as an excise officer at Dumfries, where he died aged thirty-seven. Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, printed at Kilmarnock by John Wilson in 1786 in 612 copies taken by subscription, made his name, and an enlarged Edinburgh edition followed from William Creech. He contributed some three hundred and thirty songs to The Scots Musical Museum and further songs to A Select Collection of Original Scottish Airs.
