Pence was born in the era of the Scottish nation facing the conquest of the ethnicity, so his poems were filled with radical democracy and free thought. The poet lived in the bankrupt countryside, and was connected to the flesh of poor peasants, and his poems praised the beauty of the homeland, lyrics the pure friendship and love of the workers.

In 1759, Robert Pence was born in an agricultural family in the southwestern part of Scotland, working in the countryside since his childhood and having studied for more than two years, so that his father, although he was a hard-working farmer, understood the significance of knowledge for the children, and at night after the end of heavy labor, he personally taught Pence grammar and theological knowledge.

In 1788, Pence took the job of a small tax officer and went to work on horseback every week in 1789.On the same day he was inspired to write Auld Lang Syne in a letter to a friend.

In the latter half of his life he mainly collected Scottish folk songs and lyrics, edited six volumes of The Scottish Music Summary (1787¨C1808), edited eight volumes of The Original Scottish Song Collection (1793¨C1818) for Thompson, so that many of the lost folk songs could be preserved.
