Robert was sent to school at the age of six, but he attended school in turn with his brother. Later Robert’s father taught him reading and writing, arithmetic, English grammar, history, literature, even Latin - that was Robert Burnss education.

Robert Burns became fond of reading. He read whatever he could lay his hands on. His favourite writers were Shakespeare, Smolett, Robert Fergusson, a talented Scottish poet (1750—1774).

Roberts mother knew many Scottish songs and ballads and often sang them to her son. Burns began to write poetry when he was fourteen. He composed verses to the melodies of old folk-songs, which he had admired from his early childhood.

This is the first poem of Robert Burns. O once I lovd a bonnie lass. An aye I love her still, An whilst that virtue warms my breast Ill love my handsome Nell.   As bonnie lasses I hae seen. And mony full as braw, But for a modest gracefu mein The like I never saw. . . Я прежде девушку любил И до сих пор люблю. Нет, никогда б я не забыл Нел славную мою. Красавиц много видел я, Им не было числа, Но только милая моя Изящна и мила…

But soon Edinburgh society grew tired of him and forgot about the poet. Robert Burns left Edinburgh and returned to his native village and married Jean Armour. Burns devoted to Jean many beautiful poems, such as I love my Jean, Bonnie Jean and many others.

I Love My Jean Of a the airts the wind can blaw, I dearly like the West, For there the bony Lassie lives, The Lassie I loe best: Theres wild-woods grow, and rivers row, And mony a hill between, But day and night my fancys flight Is ever wi my Jean. I see her in the dewy flowers, I see her sweet and fair, I hear her in the tunefu birds, I hear her charm the air: Theres not a bony flower that springs By fountain, shaw, or green, Theres not a bony bird that sings But minds me o my Jean.

Robert Burnss poems were very popular but he always remained poor. He worked hard and ruined his health. He died in poverty at the age of thirty seven in 1796.

The poetry and songs of Robert Burns are famous all over the world.

Роберт Бёрнс родился 25 января 1759 года в селе Аллоуэй (три километра к югу от города Эр, графство Эйршир), в семье крестьянина Уильяма Бёрнесса (William Burness, 1721—1784). В 1765 году его отец взял в аренду хозяйство Маунт-Олифант, и мальчику пришлось работать наравне со взрослыми, терпя голод и другие лишения. В 1781 году Бёрнс вступил в масонскую ложу, масонство достаточно сильно повлияло на его творчество. С 1783 года Роберт начинает сочинять стихи на эйширском диалекте. В 1784 году умирает отец, и после ряда неудачных попыток заняться сельским хозяйством Роберт с братом Гилбертом переезжает в Моссгил. В 1786 году выходит первая книга Бёрнса, Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish dialect («Стихотворения преимущественно на шотландском диалекте»). К начальному периоду творчества также относятся: «Джон Ячменное Зерно» (John Barleycorn, 1782), «Весёлые нищие» («The Jolly Beggars», 1785), «Молитва святоши Вилли» («Holy Willie’s Prayer»), «Святая ярмарка» («The Holy Fair», 1786). Поэт быстро становится известен по всей Шотландии.
