She walks in Beauty…

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!

She Walks In Beauty
by George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
Composed June, 1814
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!
