A poem : She walks in beauty by Lord Byron

    Lord Byron is my all time favorite poet. He is regarded as one of the greatest English poets. One interesting fact about him besides his literary works is that Ada Lovelace who is known as the first computer programmer in the world was his daughter.

 His short poems are fascinating masterpieces with elegant diction and musical rhyming. She walks in beauty is the most beautiful short poem written by Lord Byron according to my taste. The poem is simple yet so graceful and flawless that you will have an urge to read it every day until you can recite the poem by heart. Also this delightful little poem will bring you so much happiness and will lift your spirits high up because it speaks about the loveliest and the purest girl you have ever come across. 

   According to Wikipedia, this poem was written in 1813 and it is believed that Lord Byron wrote this poem after meeting Mrs. John Wilmot, a cousin by marriage at a ball. John Wilmot was a member of the Parliament of Great Britain.

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 aspects 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 impaired the nameless grace

Which waves 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!

So what did you think? Have you ever read such a lovely bundle of words woven together by a charming melodious design narrating a divinely beautiful story before?
