Description
The Cotters Saturday Night is a classic poem of love and faith, written in an old Scottish brogue.
Summary: (from http://www.robertburns.org.uk/Assets/Poems_Songs/cotters_saturday_night.htm) A "Cotter" in Burns's time was a poor peasant who was given the use of a Cot or Cottage by the property owner in exchange for labour as opposed to paying rent. This poem relates how the Cotter and his family take time to relax on a Saturday evening after their week's labour, knowing that Sunday is a day of rest.
The eldest daughter, Jenny, who has by now left home calls with her new boyfriend and the family eat their peasant meal and join round the fireside to hear the father read from the bible.
