She Walks In Beauty Like The Night
by Lord Byron
Ben läste de fyra första stroferna ur den här dikten när han och Meg åkte gondol.
She walks
in beauty like the night
In cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and light
Meet in the aspect of her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade
the more, one ray the less,
Had half impared the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenly 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,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
