Text Box: Volume 1, Issue 2 Text Box: She Walks in Beauty by George Gordon, Lord Byron 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 aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed 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 in 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! Text Box: By Rachel I was sort of hoping, That you would come along, Like the answer to a prayer, And the music to a song. Like the kind of thing that happens, At a special place and time, That will change our lives forever, Like a fantasy of mine. The fantasy was there before, I ever knew your name, And now that I have found you, We will never be the same. So, pardon, if I look at you, Forgive me if I stare, At the fantasy I knew before, I saw you standing there. For I was always hoping, That you would come along, Like the answer to a prayer, And the music to a song Text Box: Page # Text Box: Featured Poetry Text Box: Poetry from Lovepoemsandquotes.com LUAQuotes.com
