Description

A Boy’s Song is a lyrical poem about Billy and perhaps his father, brother or friend? They shared some exciting adventures like strolling in the river and in the neat grass land. They saw a blackbird happily singing with her little birds in the blossoming thorny shrub. Billy and his friend saw the thick and greenest straw cut by the grass trimmer. Then at the tawny river bank they paused and watch as a bunch of nuts fell below the sheer water. They both love to explore new things such as these.

James Hogg was a Scottish poet, author and essayist who penned in both Scots and English. When he was young, he labored as a shepherd and harvester and was widely self-taught by way of reading. He was a colleague of a number of the best authors of his time, such as Sir Walter Scott, of whom he afterwards drafted an unofficial biography. He was hugely called as the Ettrick Shepherd, a sobriquet from which a few of his writings were printed, and the character label he was known in the largely read serial Noctes Ambrosianae, printed in Blackwood’s Magazine. He is most famous nowadays for his book The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner. His other writings are the lengthy verse The Queen’s Wake, his set of songs Jacobite Reliques, and his two novels The Three Perils of Man, and The Three Perils of Woman.

His first compilation, The Mountain Bard, was produced in February 1807 by Constable. In the last days of summer 1807 his daughter by Catherine Henderson was born, christened on December 13 as Catherine Hogg. He remained laboring as a sheep-tender for other farmworkers, but his liabilities started to rise during 1808-1809. He then started a rendezvous with Elizabeth Beattie, and soon after fled from his creditors, going back in humiliation to Ettrick.
