She walks in beauty, like the night
\nOf cloudless climes and starry skies;
\nAnd all that’s best of dark and bright
\nMeet in her aspect and her eyes:
\nThus mellow’d to that tender light
\nWhich heaven to gaudy day denies.<\/p>\n
One shade the more, one ray the less,
\nHad half impair’d the nameless grace
\nWhich waves in every raven tress,
\nOr softly lightens o’er her face;
\nWhere thoughts serenely sweet express
\nHow pure, how dear their dwelling-place.<\/p>\n
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
\nSo soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
\nThe smiles that win, the tints that glow,
\nBut tell of days in goodness spent,
\nA mind at peace with all below,
\nA heart whose love is innocent!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
