Robert Burns (2)


Robert Burns, a famous and popular Scottish poet, was
born in 1759.
Burns was born in a family of a poor farmer. Robert
was the eldest of seven children, so he had to help his father
on the farm. His father William Burns was a kind person
who loved and understood people. So Robert learned to love
and respect people from his father. His mother had a beautiful
voice and often sang songs and told many folk-tales to her
children. Robert remembered mother's songs and stories all
his life.
His father wanted Robert to be an educated person and
sent him to school at the age of 6. Robert liked reading
books. His favourite writer was Shakespeare.
At the age of 15 he started to write poems. He wrote about
people, about everyday life. The heroes of his mother's stories
became the heroes of his poems.
In 1777 Robert moved to another town where he organized
a society of young people. They discussed moral, social
and political problems of that, time.

In 1784, his father died and Robert had to work at the farm. In 1791 he had to sell the farm because he wasn't successful at farming. Feeling the injustice of the world, he protested against


landlords who owned the best land in his poetry. In 1786 he
published a book of his poems which soon made him popular.
Burns took part in creating a book of old Scottish folksongs,
writing words for many melodies. Burns is the author
of the words of the song "Auld Lang Syne", which
Scottish people sing on the New Year Day.
Robert Burns died in poverty at the age of 37.
