- Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)
G Romantic Period – 1785-1830 
eorge Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824) Byron, like Shelley and Keats, is regarded as one of the Second Generation Romantic Poets. He is known for his brief poems and the narrative poems, ‘Don Juan’ and ‘Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage’. Byron is as well known for his private life as he is for his poetry. At the centre of many scandals, including an alleged affair with his half sister, Byron was somewhat of a celebrity in his time. She Walks in Beauty (1814) SHE walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies, And all that's best of dark and bright Meets in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.
Had half impair'd the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress Or softly lightens o'er her face, Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek and o'er that brow So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, — A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent. George Gordon, Lord Byron So We’ll Go No More A-Roving (1817) SO, we'll go no more a-roving So late into the night, Though the heart be still as loving, And the moon be still as bright. For the sword outwears its sheath, And the soul wears out the breast, And the heart must pause to breathe, And love itself have rest. Though the night was made for loving, Yet we'll go no more a-roving By the light of the moon.

helley is known as one of the Second Generation of the Romantic Poets. He is also known as a playwright, essayist and author of Gothic fiction. Shelley is regarded as one of the finest lyric poets, but like many others, was only recognised after his early death from drowning in Italy. Shelley is perhaps best known for his verse works including ‘Ozymandias’ and ‘The Masque of Anarchy’. To… Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory; Odours, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken. Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, Are heaped for the beloved's bed; And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on.
