He Walks In Beauty

lyrics

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
