She walks in beauty, like the night
Of sunny climes and starry skies;
And everything that is beautiful in the dark and bright
Meet in her face and eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light,
Which heaven refuses to this gaudy day.
One shadow more, one ray less
Has half harmed the nameless charm
That waves in every raven tree,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet communicate,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek and brow,
So delicate, so calm, yet eloquent,
The grins that win, the hues that sparkle,
But they tell of days spent in goodness,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is pure!
