SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY |
| [00:03.719] |
by: George Gordon (Lord) Byron (1788-1824) |
| [00:07.674] |
She walks in beauty, like the night |
| [00:09.677] |
Of cloudless climes and starry skies; |
| [00:12.675] |
And all that's best of dark and bright |
| [00:16.677] |
Meet in her aspect and her eyes: |
| [00:18.674] |
Thus mellow'd to that tender light |
| [00:22.176] |
Which heaven to gaudy day denies. |
| [00:25.174] |
One shade the more, one ray the less, |
| [00:29.176] |
Had half impair'd the nameless grace |
| [00:31.175] |
Which waves in every raven tress, |
| [00:33.674] |
Or softly lightens o'er her face; |
| [00:37.178] |
Where thoughts serenely sweet express |
| [00:40.675] |
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. |
| [00:45.178] |
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, |
| [00:49.680] |
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, |
| [00:53.176] |
The smiles that win, the tints that glow, |
| [00:57.676] |
But tell of days in goodness spent, |
| [01:02.180] |
A mind at peace with all below, |
| [01:05.180] |
A heart whose love is innocent! |
