Scottish Tradition: Burns Night

[Rev.Cambeul]

BURNS NIGHT
Known in medieval Celtic culture as a story teller, verse maker and composer, the word 'Bard' has become synonymous with the world's greatest poets. However, few are as celebrated as Scotland's own 'National Bard', Robert Burns, who we pay tribute to on 25 January each year.

Scots Wha Hae - by Rabbie Burns

Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled
Scots wham Bruce has aften led
Welcome tae your gory bed
Or tae victory
Now's the day and now's the hour
See the front o' battle lour
See approach proud Edward's power
Chains and slavery

Wha will be a traitor knave
Wha can fill a coward's grave
Wha sae base as be a slave
Let him turn and flee

Wha for Scots/White Man's King and law
Freedom's sword will strongly draw
Freeman stand or freeman fa'
Let him follow me.

By oppression's woes and pains
By your sons in servile chains
We will drain oor dearest veins
But they shall be free
Lay the proud usurpers low
Tyrants fall in every foe
Liberty's in every blow
Let us do or dee
