Scotch Drink
Robert Burns
1759 to 1796
Gie him strong drink, until he wink,
That's sinking in despair;
An' liquor guid to fire his bluid,
That's prest wi' grief an' care;
There let him bouse, an' deep carouse,
Wi' bumpers flowing o'er,
Till he forgets his loves or debts,
An' minds his griefs no more.
Robert Burns's Scotch Drink
I am busy working to bring Robert Burns's "Scotch Drink" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Robert Burns's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Scotch Drink" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
