Robert Burns Night

Art by Jane Hart

‘Twas January 25 and all were assembled for a festive evening of poetry, music . . . and shortbreads! It was Robert Burns Night, fast becoming a popular annual event at Kendal on Hudson. Burns’ poetry was read — in English and Scots. The audience had a role, as well: singing the songs of long ago — all from Burns’ pen.
