You Walk In Beauty

You Walk In Beauty You walk in beauty, like the night Of cloudless and starry skies; You are all that's best of dark and bright We meet in the loving her eyes: Thus mellow to that tender light Which heaven so gladly grants me. One light more, one less dark, You have impaired the nameless grace A soft breez which waves in every tree, So softly lightens your face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. Yes on your cheek a kiss, and on your brow So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that wins, My heart that glow, We speak of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all before us, And a heart whose love is innocent!

This is sonically rich, with such gentleness and grace in the lines. Keep writing, Dr. Samuel. Btw, Happy Heart's Day! hugs
