There be none of beauty's
daughters...
By Lord Byron
"There be none of Beauty's daughters
with a magic like thee;
And like music on
the waters
Is thy sweet voice
to me.
When, as if its sound were
causing
The charmed ocean's pausing,
The waves lie
still and gleaming:
And the hill'd winds seem
dreaming.
And the midnight
moon is weaving
Her bright chain o'er the
deep;
Whose breast is gently heaving,
As
an infant's asleep:
So the spirit bows before
thee
With a full but soft emotion,
Like the swell of
summer's ocean."
