He Walks In Beauty
He walks in beauty like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in his aspect and in his eyes
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven gaudy day denies
One shade the more, or one ray the less
Had half impaired his nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress
Or softly lightens over his face
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place
He walks in beauty like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in his aspect and in his eyes
And on that cheek and o’er that brow
So soft so calm yet eloquent
The smiles that win the tints that glow
And tell of days in goodness spent
A mind at peace with all below
A heart whose love is innocent
He walks in beauty like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in his aspect and in his eyes
He walks in beauty like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies
And all that’s best of dark and bright
He walks in beauty

None Of Beauty's Daughters
None of beauty’s daughters
Has a magic like you
Like music on the waters
Is your sweet voice to me
It's as if the sound were causing
The charmed ocean’s pausing
The waves lie still and gleaming
And the lull’d winds seem dreaming
The midnight moon is weaving
Its bright chain o'er the deep
Which rises, falls in breathing
Like an infant asleep
So the spirit bows before you
To worship and adore you
In soft and sweet emotion
Like the swell of summer’s ocean
