Excerpt from Home, and Other Poems and Songs Robert Chambers has said that poetry and music, till the early part of the last century, lived a vagrant life in Scotland, but they ourished in the hearts and the souls of the people, for the people of Scotland were susceptible of the strongest impressions from poetry and music. Is it not the case that, commingled with blood and tears, the Scottish Muse mourned the dem1se of good king Alexander III. In 1286, and chaunted paeans over the victories of Bruce and Edward.
