My heart is wae, and unco wae,
To think upon the raging sea,
That roars between her gardens green
An the bonie lass of Albanie.This lovely maid's of royal blood,
That ruled Albion's kingdoms three;
But Oh, alas for her bonie face!
They hae wrang'd the lass of Albanie.In the rolling tide of spreading ClydeThere sits an isle o' high degree,
And a town of fame, whose princely name
Should grace the lass of Albanie.But there is a youth, a witless youth,
That fills the place where she should be;We'll send him o'er to his native shore,
And bring our ain sweet Albanie!Alas the day, and woe the day!
A false usurper wan the gree,
Who now commands the towers and lands,
The royal right of Albanie.We'll daily pray, we'll nightly pray,
On bended knees mast fervently,
The time may come, with pipe and drumWe'll welcome hame fair Albanie.
Robert Burns (1759-1796) is considered the national poet of Scotland. Born in Alloway, Ayrshire, Burns was a prolific writer who penned poems and songs in Scots, the language spoken in his homeland. His works are characterized by a deep sensitivity to human affairs, a love for nature, and a vein of ironic humor. Among his recurring themes are work, social justice, love, and family. Burns is known for poems such as "Auld Lang Syne", "Tam o' Shanter", and "To a Mouse". His works have contributed to the spread of the Scots language and to the consolidation of Scottish national identity. Burns died young, at the age of 37, but his cultural legacy remains immense.
