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 impaired 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
