There is no doubt Lord Byron was a major poet
He died as a young man in his poetic prime
But his biting satire has lived on in time
Byron supported the Greeks in a war with the Turks and at Missolonghi he became very ill and died
As well as being wealthy, adventurous and idealistic courage of him cannot be denied
His brief love affair with Lady Caroline Lamb ended for her in tears
Her supposed description of him has outlived her by almost two century of years
She said he was mad and bad and dangerous to know
Around the coining of this phrase a legend did grow
Of him and his adventurous life many stories written about
That Byron was one of England's greatest poets there can be little doubt
Since Byron died many Seasons have come and have gone
But his poems remain popular and his legend lives on.
