The poem

She Walks in Beauty
by Lord Byron

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that鈥檚 best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow鈥檇 to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair鈥檇 the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o鈥檈r her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o鈥檈r 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!
