Born in 1759 into miserable rustic poverty, by the age of eighteen Bur　ns had acquired a good knowledge of both classical and English literature. In June 1786 his first collection of verse, Poems Chiefly in t　he Scottish Dialect, which included To a Mouse and The Cotter's Saturday Night, was greeted with huge acclaim by all classes of socie　ty. His later poems and ballads include Auld Lang Syne, the beautiful song My Love is like a Red Red Rose, Highland Mary, Scots Wha 　Hae and his masterpiece, Tam o'Shanter.
