The Poetry Piece for the month of October is a glass pendant necklace named for the poem, She Walks in Beauty, by Lord Byron (1788-1824). It can be found in the Beadshaper's case at the Bella Bazaar at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Blue Lantern Street in Dana Point, California.To see more pendants click Pendants.
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!!
