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