Robert Burns, também conhecido como Robbie Burns e O Bardo de Ayrshire , foi um poeta Escocês. Amplamente considerado o poeta nacional da Escócia, os trabalhos de Burns estão entre os primeiros escritos em lingua escocesa, embora tenha também escrito em dialeto escocês e em lingua inglesa. Burns escreveu poemas que prefiguram o romantismo e comédia, e, cheias de simplicidade e espontaneidade, suas poesias tinham como temas principais sua aldeia, a natureza e seus amores. Wikipedia
