She Walks in Beauty

George Gordon 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 mellow’d to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair’d 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!

她從美麗的光影裏走來

拜倫（英国）

她從美麗的光影裏走來，

在這星光燦爛無雲的夜空；

明與暗的最美影像，

交會在她的容顏和眼波裏；

溶成一片恬淡的清輝，

遠勝那濃艷的白天。

多一道陰影，少一點光芒，

都會損害那難言的美姿。

美在她濃黑的髮波裏流蕩，

柔和的光輝灑滿在她的面龐；

那兒充滿了歡愉的思念，

在這純潔高貴的殿堂。

那幽嫻的面頰和眉宇，

沈默中顯露著萬般情意；

那迷人的微笑，那灼人的紅暈，

顯示著柔情伴送著芳年；

在那和平面容一切的靈魂之下！

蘊藏著一顆至純至愛的心房！

拜倫(George Gordon Byron, 1788-1824) 是19世紀英國最有名的敘事及抒情詩人，
