BYRON, what clash in thee of sea and wind, Wrecking and squandering all we treasure most! What riches of ungovernable mind Washed up along some bleak despairing coast! Rare liquor doth besiege the furious capes, The iron steeps are splashed with blood of grapes, All the perfumed cargo of thy heady wine Flung to inhabitants of rocks and fogs To grope for, and get drunk out of their clogs While fades the chaos-tingeing fiery juice divine. . . . | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MEMORIAL VERSES by MATTHEW ARNOLD FAREWELL TO HIS WIFE by GEORGE GORDON BYRON BYRON by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER A PICTURE AT NEWSTEAD by MATTHEW ARNOLD OFF MESOLONGI by ALFRED AUSTIN LAST DAYS OF BYRON by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES THE SEA REPLIES TO BYRON by GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON IRREGULAR ODE, ON THE DEATH OF LORD BYRON by CALEB C.
