Lord Byron on Death

← Back to Lord Byron Profile
“Heaven gives its favourites — early death.”
Lord Byron
“Ah! surely nothing dies but something mourns!”
Lord Byron
“"Whom the gods love die young," was said of yore.”
Lord Byron
“Without a grave, unknell'd, uncoffin'd, and unknown.”
Lord Byron
“Oh, God! it is a fearful thing To see the human soul take wing In any shape, in any mood!”
Lord Byron
“Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is pass'd in sleep.”
Lord Byron
“Down to the dust! — and, as thou rott'st away, Even worms shall perish on thy poisonous clay.”
Lord Byron
