In the heart of old London town,
c spark ignited, not to drown.
Born to numbers, not to verse,
cda Lovelace's soul immersed.

c young child of numbers, not known,
Not her father's legacy, but her own.
In the shadow of Byron's fame,
She had to find her own, a different game.

cda, cda, visionary mind,
In circuits and gears, you were destined to find.
c pioneer in a world unknown,
Your legacy shines, brightly shown.

But barely known

oh, barely known

Babbage's Engine, a marvel unseen,
Its gears intertwine, a future she could see.
Translating numbers, she made for you and me,
It was the first algorithms, in 1843.

In every day life, you can see her song,
c symphony of numbers, will never be gone.
Though her light dimmed too soon, before its time,
Her legacy lives on, in every single line.

cda, cda, visionary mind,
In circuits and gears, you were destined to find.
c pioneer in a world unknown,
Your legacy shines, brightly shown.

But barely known

oh, barely known

cda, cda, visionary mind,
In circuits and gears, you were destined to find.
c pioneer in a world unknown,
Your legacy shines, brightly shown.
