------
The Castled Crag at Drachenfels is a 4-verse poem embedded in Canto 3 of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage by Lord Byron. It is thought to be addressed to his half-sister Augusta Leigh, by whom he was believed to have fathered a child.
The Drachenfels crag overlooks the town of Kornigswinter on the river Rhine in Germany, just south of Bonn. - Summary by Alan Mapstone
