She Walks in Beauty

Song She Walks in Beauty
Artist Michael Hoppé
Album How Do I Love Thee

Lyrics

[00:22.44] She walks in beauty, like the night
[00:25.82] Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
[00:28.98] And all that’s best of dark and bright
[00:31.70] Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
[00:35.43] Thus mellowed to that tender light
[00:37.86] Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
[00:41.70] One shade the more, one ray the less,
[00:44.58] Had half impaired the nameless grace
[00:46.90] Which waves in every raven tress,
[00:50.27] Or softly lightens o’er her face;
[00:52.84] Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
[00:55.57] How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
[01:00.55] And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
[01:03.33] So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
[01:06.96] The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
[01:10.67] But tell of days in goodness spent,
[01:13.71] A mind at peace with all below,
[01:16.54] A heart whose love is innocent!
[01:19.60]
