Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edinburgh Poems and Songs If a note of sadness and regret be found to pervade my rhymes, I trust that my circumstances may excuse what in reality could not well have been lessened or concealed. I am convinced that abundant materials exist for the poetic imagination in the city as in the country; and if my Muse has tempted me on this occasion to look whiles for inspiration to the more sombre. Features of the town, I hope my readers will kindly bear with me. In view of my now rare instances of communing with country life. However, not this prose paragraph only, but with it the first poem the book, should be read as my full and true Preface.
