lyrics

She walks in beauty, tender as the night of cloudless starry skies

And all the aspects best of dark and bright are met inside her eyes

And therefore mellowed to that tender light which Heav’n to day denies

And though she’s dressed in black and mourns a loved one gone

Her beauty’s still a sight to see, her presence fills the room with ethereal song

She’s hypnotising me

One shade the more, or yet one ray the less had half inspired the grace

Which waves in every gentle raven tress or softly lights her face

Where purest thoughts senerely sweet express how dear their resting place

And though her heart is wrenched with devastating pain

She smiles with quiet dignity, and though my conscious sense I struggle to retain

She’s mesmerising me

And on that flawless cheek and o’er that brow so calm, yet eloquent

The poignant smiles that win the tints that glow but tell of good times spent

A mind and heart at peace with all below whose love is innocent

And though I try to clear my mind, try as I might this girl in black is all I see

And I accept that I shall not forget this night, this wondrous night in which she

This magical night in which she, she walks in beauty
