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