She Walks in Beauty

[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!
