Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Robert Burns, Vol. 2: With Memoir, Critical Dissertation, and Explanatory Notes
So the loud torrent and the whirlwind's roar But bind him to his native mountains more.
We question if even in the breast Of Scott himself although he said that if he did not see the heather once a - year, he would die - there burned a stronger or purer attachment to auld Caledonia than in Burns, although he had not an acre in it which he could call his own, and no link connecting him with it closer than the handle Of a plough at one time, and a gauger's rod at another. That country must have powerful charms which can create enthusiasm even in the minds Of its serfs and down-trodden children Of toil.
