Poems and Songs of Robert Burns
This is the complete poetry of Robert Burns arranged in the order it was written, from a song for a girl he met in the harvest field at fourteen to the pieces of his last year, 1796. It includes the satires on Calvinist hypocrisy such as Holy Willie's Prayer, the narrative tour de force Tam o' Shanter, the addresses to a mouse and a louse, hundreds of songs written or reworked for Scottish airs, and a quantity of epitaphs, epistles and squibs, with a glossary of Scots words at the end. Burns was an Ayrshire tenant farmer who became a national figure in his lifetime and the most quoted poet of his country ever since. The poems are available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first ones are free.
