Answer:

The poem She Walks in Beauty is a short lyrical poem written by Lord Byron, one of the leading English Romantic Poet. The poem reflects poet’s admiration for a woman whose beauty and serenity he compares to night sky

The central theme of the poem is the celebration of beauty of a mysterious woman not merely in its physical form but also on its inner virtue. Byron explores how outer beauty is a reflection of inner purity and balance, portraying the woman as a perfect blend of both.

The poem follows a lyrical and melodious structure, written in three stanzas with six lines each. The rhyme scheme is ABABAB, which gives it a soothing rhythm.

The poet uses rich imagery and metaphors to bring his subject to life. For example, comparing the woman to a "night of cloudless climes and starry skies". Simile, Alliteration, antithesis, personification are the poetic devices that enhance the poem’s lyrical quality. The use of enjambment adds a flowing, natural cadence to the verses.

The poem conveys the idea that true beauty is a combination of outward grace and inner virtue. It emphasizes harmony, tranquillity, and purity, encouraging readers to appreciate the deeper qualities of individuals.

I like this poem as it inspires us to see beauty not as superficial but as an intricate blend of physical and moral attributes. One should appreciate beauty in its entirety.
