She Walks in Beauty by LORD BYRON (read by Tom Hiddleston)

This famous poem by Lord Byron extols the beauty of women. It praises the feminine charm, i.e. "tender light" of the woman's glowing features, eloquence, and innocent heart. In Byron's case, the woman's charming appearance is exceeded by her inner beauty, making her his ideal woman.

Music: Requiem In Cello - Hanu Dixit

She Walks in Beauty by 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!

First time hearing Lord Byron's poetry. I'm in love. With him, with Tom Hiddleston, with whatever man would say that poem to me.

Gotta memorize this poem for English class

[shakespeareetc.]

What an amazing voice! Is there a version without the music?

[taylorrhyne]

Why do people always add echos to the voice over. It kinda makes it have to focus on the poem
