Read the first stanza of Robert Burns' poem "Farewell Song to the Banks of Ayr." Which example of dialect can be found in these lines? The gloomy night is gath'ring fast,
Loud roars the wild, inconstant blast,
Yon murky cloud is foul with rain,
I see it driving o'er the plain;
The hunter now has left the moor.
The scatt'red coveys meet secure;
While here I wander, prest with care,
Along the lonely banks of Ayr.
