罗伯特·彭斯Robert Burns（1759—1796）苏格兰农民诗人，在英国文学史上占有特殊重要的地位。
彭斯的诗歌充满了激进的民主自由思想。
同时由于生活在农村，他的诗歌抒写了劳动者的生活，复活并丰富了苏格兰民歌。
彭斯个人生活不很顺遂，他的妻子Jean Armour共生了九个孩子但仅存活三人；而他倾心相爱并在许多诗歌名篇中讴歌的Marry Campbell却在他与Jean成婚前死于伤寒。
在他的爱情诗中到处反映了他心中的爱情模式和烂漫情怀。

初夏此处先展容，久久流连无归意。
孰料今来作诀别，心爱玛丽在高地。
桦树葱茏摇欢快，山楂花开繁似锦。
香气袭人树荫下，将我恋人搂抱紧。
黄金时辰天使翅，徘徊头顶倏忽离；爱君如光如生命，心爱玛丽在高地。
絮絮誓言紧搂抱，绵绵离情尽温柔；相约日后再相逢，恋恋难分终松手。
孰料死神速降霜，鲜花一夜惨凋蔽，萋萋芳草冷冷土，玛丽香魂留高地！昔日激吻玫瑰唇，呜呼已然成死灰！脉脉含情秋波闪，早已瞑目不见泪！甜甜爱我一颗心，而今销朽沉寂地！但埋我心深深处，高地永生我玛丽。
