"Auld Lang Syne"
Is Integral Part
Os New Year's
“Auld Lang Syne” has become
•uch an integral part of our
modern New Year’s eve that no i
celebration, however gay, would)
bi,' complete without it.
The music shells for those
nostalgic strains simply say
“Robert Bums Scotch Air”, and
Robert Burns generally is sup
posed to have written it afer he
had settled down on a farm and
taken himself a wife, following
(the sweeping success in 1778 T of
(the second edition of his “Poems.”
Well and good but Auld Lang
Syne was not exclusively a Burns’
(product, noi did he claim it to be.
In a letter to George Thomason,
publisher, Burns explained:
, “It is an old song of olden
tunes, which has never been in

(Larqeit Coverage Any W ee kly In The State-
print. I took it down from an old
man's singing ”
Modern scholarship has discov-'
ered that Burns was wrong when
he told Thomason “Auld Lang s
Syne” never had been in print.
Its refrain, at least, was printed
<ibscurely*long before Burns heard
his “old man singing.”
Further, the original song often
I has been credited to Sir Robert
AytOun (157(1-1638). Aytown was
one of the earliest Scots to use!
; the lowland dialect as a literary
.medium. Multitudes of Americans
(decended from non-British stock
are perpetually mystified by this
dialect nor does it seem to make i
much sense in the standard
English translation.
Regardless of its original author
; and origin, it was Burns who gave
"Auld Lang Syne” its immortality.
Mr. and Mrs. Nesbit Fisher,
and Sara Jean ,of Macon, were
recent visitors in Porterdale.
