Born in Carmarthen , the historical and current center of Carmartenshire County in southwest Wales , in the family of Lewis Edward Morris and Sophia Hages. From 1841 to 1847 he studied at the Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School . In 1847, he was transferred to another school in ( English Cowbridge Grammar School ). There he secured for himself a future scholarship by writing a poem on Pompeii, who won the competition ^[4] . In 1850, he was one of about thirty Cowbridge boys who followed the principal of the school, Hugo Harper in Sherborn, where the latter was sent on a school revival mission ^{[5] [6] [7]} . Morris and Harper have remained friends for life. He later studied the classics at Oxford, where he graduated in 1856: the first student in thirty years to pass the preliminary and final exams ^[8] . Then he became a lawyer. In 1868, he married Florence Pollard. He was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1895, and was close to being appointed court laureate poet who failed, perhaps due to his meeting with Oscar Wilde. One of his most famous poems is Love's Suicide .
