Read our Poem of the Week and picture the main character in own words.

SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY

by: George Gordon (Lord) Byron (1788-1824)

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!

Answer 10

I guess the question wants you to describe her physical appearance based on the description in the poem.

Answer 11

I would say something along the lines that she is very beautiful in the eyes of the author. Byron is describing a woman of much beauty and elegance. He is in great admiration of her and says that she has beautiful eyes, etc.
