She Walks in Beauty<\/p>\n

She walks in beauty, like the night<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Of cloudless climes and starry skies;<\/div>\n
And all that\u2019s best of dark and bright<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Meet in her aspect and her eyes;<\/div>\n
Thus mellowed to that tender light<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Which heaven to gaudy day denies.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One shade the more, one ray the less,<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Had half impaired the nameless grace<\/div>\n
Which waves in every raven tress,<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Or softly lightens o\u2019er her face;<\/div>\n
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And on that cheek, and o\u2019er that brow,<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,<\/div>\n
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0But tell of days in goodness spent,<\/div>\n
A mind at peace with all below,<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0A heart whose love is innocent.<\/div>\n

~ George Gordon, Lord Byron<\/p>\n
