Now who is this man that can play and compose  

At the age of nine, by many he was chose  

 

And for his time considered a classical star  

All around Europe, he had traveled much too far  

 

This is the man, that wrote music of Shakespeare  

'Twas impressive but he didn't domineer 

 

With efficiency and confidence, he was quite the character  

And so, our man went on to compose an expanding repertoire  

 

It was 1824, writing letters from vacation in Scotland   

It seemed like he had started his own poetic band   

 

Leipzig Con of Music  - his main legacy found  

So popular it was all doors fans had all pound  

​

Though our composer and the royalty have only once met  

Queen Victoria's say was, ‘That composer’s my favorite’  

​

Some say cause of work, he was fragile as a flea  

But what they forget is the underlying prodigy  

​

And this is what some, say brought him to doom  

Exhaustion; overwork,  death in the loom
