[00:22.44] | She walks in beauty, like the night |
[00:25.82] | Of cloudless climes and starry skies; |
[00:28.98] | And all that’s best of dark and bright |
[00:31.70] | Meet in her aspect and her eyes; |
[00:35.43] | Thus mellowed to that tender light |
[00:37.86] | Which heaven to gaudy day denies. |
[00:41.70] | One shade the more, one ray the less, |
[00:44.58] | Had half impaired the nameless grace |
[00:46.90] | Which waves in every raven tress, |
[00:50.27] | Or softly lightens o’er her face; |
[00:52.84] | Where thoughts serenely sweet express, |
[00:55.57] | How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. |
[01:00.55] | And on that cheek, and o’er that brow, |
[01:03.33] | So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, |
[01:06.96] | The smiles that win, the tints that glow, |
[01:10.67] | But tell of days in goodness spent, |
[01:13.71] | A mind at peace with all below, |
[01:16.54] | A heart whose love is innocent! |
[01:19.60] |
