"Character of the Happy Warrior" is a poem by the English Romantic poet William Wordsworth. Composed in 1806, after the death of Lord Nelson, hero of the Napoleonic Wars, and first published in 1807, [1] the poem purports to describe the ideal "man in arms" and has, through ages since, been the source of much metaphor in political and military life.
