She walks in Beauty
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 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 tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent! |

A nice poem by Byron. Here's another one.
It was written when a lady visited Lord Byron and finding him not at his house left a message which read "Remember me!" Here's what Byron wrote when he found that message. Remember Thee! Remember Thee! Remember thee! remember thee! Till Lethe quench life's burning stream Remorse and shame shall cling to thee, And haunt thee like a feverish dream! Remember thee! Aye, doubt it not. Thy husband too shall think of thee: By neither shalt thou be forgot, Thou false to him, thou fiend to me! |
