She walks in beauty like the night
of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
meets in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
had half impair'd 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 tells in days of goodness spent,
a mind at peace with all below,
a heart whose love is innocent.
George Gordon Byron

I recite this poem to myself very often. And when I stand under the shimmering moon, reciting, the beauty of the lines seem to 'softly lighten' over me. I wonder why this poem is ranked 125th. Is it that romance is dead today?

We read this poem in English last year in Grade 11. I really liked it then, and seeing it now, brought back the memory

I must read this poem almost every day. It is one of my favorite poems and one of the inspirations for my own poems on beauty.
