“My love is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June:
My love is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune…”

– Robert Burns

Robert Burns was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. He is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic Movement and after his death became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism. A cultural icon in Scotland and among the Scottish Diaspora around the world, celebration of his life and work became almost a national charismatic cult during the 19^th and 20^th centuries, and his influence has long been strong on Scottish literature.

This fine 1880s edition was published in Scotland with illustrated borders around each page. A beautiful work bound in an impressive, wooden boards with engravings on each board.
