She Walks In Beauty

She walks in beauty
Inceding like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies
And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and eyes
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy
Day denies

One shade the more
One ray the less
Had half impaired
The nameless grace
Which waves in
Every raven tress
Or softly lightens o'er her face
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place

And on that cheek
And o'er that brow
So soft, so calm
Yet eloquent
The smiles that win
The tints that glow
The stars that spin
The lights that flow

But tell of days
In goodness spent
A mind at peace
With all below
A heart whose love
Is innocent
Sky full of stars
Magnificent

One shade the more
One ray the less
Had half impaired
The nameless grace
Which waves in
Every raven tress
Or softly lightens o'er her face
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place

She walks in beauty
Inceding like the night
She walks in beauty
Inceding like the night
