Lambs in the sheepfold...

Where did Abiga go?

Alexandria

So much is happening this spring! Two of my grand-daughters are graduating high school.

How blessed I am to be called "their Grammy".  
I have always been a fan of Lord Byron's poetry. In high school, we had to memorize many of the poets and were well versed in classical literature. This particular poem speaks of loveliness and innocence

Emily

She Walks In Beauty like the night

Lord Byron

 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!
