Prince William and Kate Middleton have just turned to social media to celebrate Burns Night, that is celebrated each year on January 25th, for the celebrating of the life and work of poet Scottish Robert Burns.

The tribute comes with a special focus to his poem Composed in Spring that is also often called "Now Spring Has Clad The Grove In Green.

The poem itself goes like this, “Again rejoicing Nature sees/ Her robe assume its vernal hues,/ Her leafy locks wave in the breeze/ All freshly steep'd in morning dews./ And maun I still on Menie doat,/ And bear the scorn that's in her e'e!/ For it's jet, jet black, an' it's like a hawk,’ An' it winna let a body be!”
