She Walks in Beauty
She Walks in Beauty
By Lord Byron
She walks in beauty, like the night
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies
Of cloudless climes and starry skies
And all that’s best of dark and bright
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
A heart whose love is innocent!
