Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive collection of poetry by a 19th-century Scottish farmer. It includes a wide variety of verse, from his popular humorous narrative poems with his unique viewpoint on topics of the day, to moving laments, and both deeply personal and widely accessible meditations on faith, nature, and the human condition. This book provides a glimpse into the life and reflections of a talented writer whose humble existence belied his skill in capturing the rural rhythms and social fabric of early Victorian Scotland. Throughout the collection, the author's faith remains central, providing a steadfast core against the ever-changing backdrop of human life, and his observations on the natural world reveal a keen awareness of its rhythms and interconnectedness. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
