The main purpose of this study is to investigate how Byron’s early poems embody the speakers’ articulations of introspective voices which involve their wanderings and perceptions of bereavement, mortality, vicissitude, and loss of glory. His poems written from 1807 to his self-exile, like Hours of Idleness and Hebrew Melodies, feature those recurrent experiences of loss and distress, which bring to light the protagonists’ dilemmas, repressed considerations, resilient attitudes, and spiritual awakenings. This study concentrates on the speakers’ multifarious contemplations undertaken in the midst of their relentless sauntering around external ambiences with a sustaining pensiveness. “Lines Written beneath an Elm” and “Stanzas” represent the speakers’ memoir of the past, in which the speakers’ experiences encounter their uncertainties and dilemmas about the human condition charged with its mutability and mortality. Despite this experience of pain, the speakers’ wishes for seeking the perpetual value are so ardent whereby they are willing to confront the irresistible territory of time. Furthermore, in “On the Day of the Destruction of Jerusalem by Titus,” anthologised in Hebrew Melodies, the speaker’s perception of transience and changeability is associated with his perception of loss of glory by way of incorporating historical and biblical contexts.
