Burns' best work was written in Scots, a northern dialect of English spoken by Scottish peasants. His poetry revived the English lyric, explored the literary forms and legends of folk culture, and used the language really spoken by the common folk. Tradition says this meditation on the destiny and plans of mice and men was really composed as Burns turned up a mouse's nest with his plow. Recited by an actor.
