Robert met thirteen year old Peggy Thompson there, and wrote another masterpiece I Met With My Angel (Burns, Robert 709). .
In 1777 the Burns family moved to a farm at Lochlea, where Robert wrote most of the poems that appeared in Poems Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, his first book of poems (A Tribute). Life on the farm in Lochlea was backbreaking and sometimes heartbreaking, since bad weather could wipe out a year's effort, and where bad seeds wouldn't grow in even the best of soil. The constant pressure of having to help provide for himself and his family and the call to measure up to his father's place in the farming industry was always on his mind, which never vented itself in any of his work. Poetry was a way of escape for Burn's, an imaginary place that knew no financial ruin or plowing of fields, only everlasting love and fortune. When not working he could be found with a book in his hands or a pencil and pad (Burns, Robert 709). Burns grew up knowing the negatives of farming and learned how mentally and physically draining farming was on his father. Although he was so talented in writing and got so far with his poetry, as one can see he would always return to farming to try to piece together his childhood (A Tribute).
In February 1784, William Burns died. Robert and his brother Gilbert rented a farm near Mossgiel, where Burns lived until 1786. Because of his misfortunes in farming and in result of his father's death in 1786, he decided to emigrate. In order to obtain the passage-money for a voyage to Jamaica where a post on a plantation had been offered him, Burns published the Kilmarnock edition of his early poems, titled Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect (Harvey 122). In these poems, he recorded the celebrated aspect of farm life, regional experience, traditional culture, and religious practice and belief in such a way as to transcend the particularities of his inspiration (Brown 3: 74).
