She+Walks+In+Beauty+Text

She walks in beauty, like the night  Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright  Meet in her aspect and her 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,  But tell of days in goodness spent, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">A mind at peace with all below, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;"> A heart whose love is innocent!
