Most of the short poems are mourning poems, recalling the past, lamenting love and life experiences, and some political poems.
The second part of Selected Poems is an excerpt from a long poem, which is mainly taken from Byron's two representative works, Childe Haller's Travels and Don Juan.
The former is the first important work representing the maturity of the poet's poetic art, and the first two chapters were written while traveling in continental Europe. As soon as 18 12 was published, Byron became famous in the poetry world. According to the poet himself, he woke up one night and became "Napoleon in poetry". Don Juan is Byron's last novel. Although it is not finished, it is still a monument in Byron's life. Rich in content and magnificent in momentum, it is known as an encyclopedia satirizing the accumulated disadvantages of modern society because of its sharp critical edge. The third chapter "Mourning for Greece" can be written independently, with solemn and stirring momentum, sonorous syllables and passionate feelings.
The last part of Selected Poems includes five long poems: The Surrounding of Corinth, Prisoner of the Sion, Bei Bo, Phantom of Judgment and Bronze Century. Bei Bo tells the story of a husband who came home after leaving his hometown in Venice for a long time, only to find that his wife had found another lover, and finally settled the dispute with a cup of coffee. The style of writing is also very harmonious, and the lively atmosphere of carnival and people's frivolous fashion in love and marriage are vividly rendered.

It is worth mentioning that there are many poems in Byron's poems with the theme of oriental background or oriental stories, such as Pirates, Pagans, Bride of Abidus, Travels of Childe Haller, etc. It is full of oriental sentiment and romantic imagination and passion, which benefits from his broad vision brought by his long-term wandering life.
