She Walks in Beauty

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!

GLE, IDE LEPA KAO NOC

Gle, ide lepa kao noc kraja
Zvezdanog neba, vedrih klima,
Sve najlepše od mraka i sjaja
U liku svom i oku ima,
Umekšanom svetlom raja,
Što od neba ga dan ne prima.

Tek sena jaca, manja zraka-
I slabi slast neiskazana
U valu njenih uvojaka,
Il' blaga svetlost, licu dana,
Gde kaže slatka misao svaka
Svu draž, cistocu svoga stana.

S tog obraza i cela nežna
-Što tiho je, a rec ne gubi-
Smešci zbore i boja nežna,
Da njenu prošlost blagost rubi,
Da ne zna duh njen zemnih cežnja,
A srce njeno cisto ljubi.
