Comin' Thro' the Rye" is a poem written in 1782 by Robert Burns (1759–1796). The words are put to the melody of the Scottish Minstrel " Common' Frae The Town ". This is a variant of the tune to which " Auld Lang Syne " is usually sung—the melodic shape is almost identical, the difference lying in the tempo and rhythm.
