She Walks in BeautyLord Byron (George Gordon)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 mellowed to that tender
light
Which heaven to gaudy day
denies.
One shade the more, one ray
the less,
Had half impaired the
nameless grace
Which waves in every raven
tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her
face;
Where thoughts serenely 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!

What a wonderful art piece connected to the great lyric. Karla, you have managed to create "that tender light" to her lovely face. The scarf is so delecate and soft. Have a lovely new week xxx
