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