Arthur W. Finer - She walks in beauty - текст песни (слова)

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 mellow'd to that tender light 
 Which Heav'n to gaudy day denies.
 One shade the more, one ray the less,
 Had half impair'd the nameless grace 
 Which waves in ev'ry raven tress 
 Or softly lightens o'er her face,
 Where thoughts serenely sweet express 
 How pure, how clear 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.
