Robert Burns A. A Red, Red Rose B. Songs of Innocence C. Poetical Sketches D. The Tree of Liberty
The correct answer is A. A Red, Red Rose.
Robert Burns (1759–1796) is Scotland's national poet. "A Red, Red Rose" is one of his most famous love poems, often sung as a folk song. It begins:
"O my Luve is like a red, red rose,
That’s newly sprung in June..."
The other options are works by different poets:
B. Songs of Innocence — by William Blake
C. Poetical Sketches — by William Blake
D. The Tree of Liberty — This is also a poem by Robert Burns, but it is far less known than "A Red, Red Rose" and not usually the first work associated with him in a general quiz context. However, since the question asks for a work by Robert Burns and lists only one of his most iconic poems, A is the primary correct choice.
