LUCY GRAYLucy is a lyrical poem. It is based on the story of a young girl who lost her way in a snow storm. She lived with her parents in a valley. She was a lonely girl as she had no friend and playmates. She was very playful and jolly. One stormy night, her father asked her to go to the town and bring her mother home. She obeyed him and went out with a lantern.But unfortunately the sudden storm seized her and she lost her way in the mountains. Her parents looked for the lost girl all night but couldn’t find her. At daylight, they came upon a bridge where they discovered Lucy’s footprint.

From the Fourth Canto
Adieu, adieu! my native shore
Fades o'er the waters blue; (over)
The night-winds sigh, the breakers roar, (soft sound) (waves)
And shrieks the wild sea-mew.
(cry) (seagull)
Yon sun that sets upon the sea(over there)
We follow in his flight;
Farewell awhile to him and thee, (you)
My native Land-Good Night!
From the First Canto
Read the following stanza from Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage and explain the message the author is trying to convey in your own words
Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean--roll! (You)
Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain; (ships) (you)
Man marks the earth with ruin--his control Stops with the shore;--upon the watery plainThe wrecks are all thy deed, nor doth remain (destroyed ships)
A shadow of man's ravage, save his own, (damage)
When for a moment, like a drop of rain,He sinks into thy depths with bubbling groan, (painful sound)
Without a grave, unknelled, uncoffined, and unknown

Life changes constantly .
The man is harming the Earth, but there are some people who are striving to save nature.
If the man continues to do so, we will not even have a place to be buried in.

If Lord Byron were alive today, what would he think about the current state of the environment? Why?He woud feel unhappy because the environment is undergoing dramatic changes which affects not only nature but also human beings and as a solution, he would create a foundation to raise awareness of the importance of protecting the Earth.
