Forlagsbeskrivelse af Selected Poems af Robert Burns
A selection of Burns's poems and songs, arranged in the order of composition and using the original texts where possible. This edition gives equal weight to Burns as song-writer and poet, providing lyrics and tunes where applicable. This selection gives equal weight to the two aspects of Robert Burns''s reputation, as a lyricist and as a much-loved Scottish poet. Placing works in probable order of composition, it includes lyrics to his most well known songs, such as the nostalgic "Auld Lang Syne," the romantic "A Red, Red Rose," and the patriotic "Scots What Hae. " As a poet, Burns wrote with deceptive simplicity and imaginative sympathy, and demonstrated enormous rangefrom comic dramatic monologues such as Holy Willie''s Prayer, which mocks hypocrisy, to narratives including the celebrated Tam O'' Shanter, about the ghostly visions of a drunk.
