Red Red Rose
Transcript: Spanish He was born on 25 January 1759 in the village of Alloway. Despite his parents were both farmers, he received a relatively good education and began to read avidly. The works of Alexander Pope, Henry Mackenzie and Laurence Sterne fired Burns's poetic impulse and relationships with the opposite sex provided his inspiration. His attentions towards the passions of poetry, nature, drink and women which would characterise the rest of his life. At just 27, Burns had already become famous across the West Indies with poems such as “To a Louse”, “To a Mouse” and “The Cotter's Saturday Night”. He moved to Edimburgh and in just 18 short months, Burns had spent most of the wealth from his published poetry, so in 1789 he began work as an Excise Officer in Dumfrie. His increasingly radical political views influenced many of the phenomenal number of poems, songs and letters he continued to pen, including such famous works as “For a' that and a' that”.

He also wrote in standard English, and in these writings his political or civil commentary is often at its bluntest. He is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement, and after his death he became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism, and a cultural icon in Scotland.
