Robert Burns
(1759-1796)

Robert Burns was the most democratic poet of the 18th century. His birthday is celebrated in Scotland as a national holiday.
Robert Burns was born on January 25,1759, in a small clay cottage at Alloway in Scotland.

His father, William Burns, was a poor farmer. William Burns tried to give his son the best education he could afford. Robert was sent to school at the age of 6, but as his father could not pay for the two sons, Robert and his brother Gilbert attended school in turn. Robert was a capable boy and with the help of his new teacher, received a decent education. He learned French and Latin.

Burns started writing poems at the age of 17. He composed verses to the melodies of old folk songs, which he had admired from his early childhood. He sang of the woods, fields and wonderful valleys of his native land.

Robert fell in love with Jean Armour and was going to marry her, but the girl’s father did not want to have a poor peasant for his son-in-law.

To raise the money, Robert made up his mind to publish some of his poems. The little volume “Poems Chiefly in the Scottish dialect”, published in 1786 went off rapidly and brought in about 20 guineas. Robert Burns became famous. He toured Scotland in triumph after the new edition of his poems, Burns returned to his native village with money enough to buy a farm and marry Jean Armour.

In 1791 he went bankrupt and was obliged to sell the farm and take a position as customs officer. The job was extremely hard. Hard work destroyed the poet’s health. He died in poverty at the age of 37. After his death, the widow and children of the great poem were left without a shilling.

Robert Burn’s literary work. The democratic character of the poet.
Robert Burns was the true son of the Scottish poetry. His poems embody their thoughts and aspirations, their human dignity, their love of freedom and hatred of all oppressors.
In many of his poems he signs the beauty of his native land, where he spent all his life.

Farewell to the mountains high covered with snow;
Farewell to the straths and green valleys below;
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods;
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.
(My Heart’s in the Highlands)

Burns was a remarkable lyric poet. Some of his lyrical pieces are tender and pathetic. Such lyrics as “A red, red rose’’, “Scots, Wha Hae”, “Auld Lang Syne”, “John Barleycorn”, “My Heart’s in the Highlands” and many others were composed to the old folk –melodies or later set to music and are popular as songs all over the world.

Exercise 1.Read and translate the poem
A red, red rose
O my luve like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June:
O my luve is like the melodie
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’the seas gang dry:
Till a’the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only luve,
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my luve,
Tho’it were ten thousand mile!

Exercise 2. Discuss the translation of the poem.
Любовь
Любовь, как роза, роза красная,
Цветет в моем саду.
Любовь моя-как песенка,
С которой в путь иду.
Сильнее красоты твоей
Моя любовь одна.
Она с тобой, пока моря
Не высохнут до дна.
Не высохнут моря, мой друг,
Не рушится гранит,
Не остановится песок,
А он, как жизнь, бежит…
Будь счастлива, моя любовь,
Прощай и не грусти.
Вернусь к тебе, хоть целый свет
Пришлось бы мне пройти!
(Перевод С. Я. Маршака)
