She walks in Beauty like the Night

She Walks in Beauty

By Lord 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!

This is an eternal  poem that many fell in love with over the years...

As I taught it to my students this term (2nd Term-1434H/ 2013), I was able to experience first hand the beauty of it and how students loved and appreciated it. 

 

 Here is my own personal Polyvore design inspired by the poem. I hope you'd like it.
