She walks in Beauty, like the Night
\nOf cloudless climes and starry skies;
\nAnd all that\u2019s best of dark and bright
\nMeet in her aspect and her eyes;
\nThus mellowed to the tender light
\nWhich Heaven to gaudy day denies \u2013<\/p>\n
One shade the more \u2013 one ray the less
\nHad half impaired the nameless grace
\nWhich waves in every raven tress
\nOr softly lightens o\u2019er her face
\nWhere thoughts serenely sweet express
\nHow pure \u2013 how dear their dwelling place!<\/p>\n
And on that cheek, and o\u2019er that brow,
\nSo soft \u2013 so calm \u2013 yet eloquent,
\nThe smiles that win, the tints that glow,
\nBut tell of days in goodness spent \u2013
\nA mind at peace with all below \u2013
\nA Heart \u2013 whose love is innocent!<\/p>\n
