English poem: She walks in beauty Comments George Gordon Byron ?She walks in beauty，like the nightOf cloudless climes and starry skies，And all thats best of dark and brightMeet in her aspect and her eyes，Thus mellowd to that tender lightWhich heaven to gaudy day denies．? One shade the more，one ray the less，Had half impaird the nameless graceWhich waves in every raven tress，Or softly lightens o’er her face，Where thoughts serenely sweet expressHow pure，how dear their dwelling-place．? And on that cheek and oer that browSo soft，so calm，yet eloquent，The smiles that win，the tints that glowBut tell of days in goodness spent，A mind at peace with all below，A heart whose love is innocent.
