to your opinion. Thank you.
I
invite N.G. to reward the queen of our party.
She
Walks in Beauty
BY
LORD BYRON (GEORGE GORDON)
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!
T:
Boys and girls! Our activity is over. But we will continue to know more about
the English traditions. Thank you very much! Goodbye!
