    XI MIA 3/ 1

    1. “She Walks in Beauty” by 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 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!

    BIOGRAPHY :
    George Gordon Byron, (22 January 1788 – 19 April
    1824), commonly known simply as Lord Byron, was an
    English poet and a leading figure in the Romantic
    movement. He was born in London on 22 January
    1788. His father was Scottish and his first school was
    Aberdeen Grammar School. He later moved to Harrow
    where he had an undistinguished school life. He
    represented Harrow in the first Harrow vs Eton
    Cricket game in 1805. After Harrow, he went to Trinity
    College Cambridge where he lived a free-living lifestyle, which left him broke and his
    mother had to pay off his debtors.
    2. “A Day” by Emily Dickinson

    I’ll tell you how the sun rose, —


    A ribbon at a time.
    The steeples swam in amethyst,
    The news like squirrels ran.

    The hills untied their bonnets,


    The bobolinks begun.
    Then I said softly to myself,
    “That must have been the sun!”

    But how he set, I know not.


    There seemed a purple stile
    Which little yellow boys and girls
    Were climbing all the while

    Till when they reached the other side,


    A dominie in gray
    Put gently up the evening bars,
    And led the flock away.

    BIOGRAPHY :
    Emily Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886),
    regarded as one of America’s greatest poets, is also
    well known for her unusual life of self-imposed social
    seclusion. Living a life of simplicity and seclusion, she
    yet wrote poetry of great power; questioning the
    nature of immortality and death, with at times an
    almost mantric quality. Her different lifestyle created
    an aura; often romanticised, and frequently a source of
    interest and speculation. But ultimately Emily
    Dickinson is remembered for her unique poetry. Within
    short, compact phrases she expressed far-reaching ideas; amidst paradox and
    uncertainty, her poetry has an undeniable capacity to move and provoke.
    3. “Before The Battle” by Siegfried Sassoon

    Music of whispering trees


    Hushed by the broad-winged breeze
    Where shaken water gleams;
    And evening radiance falling
    With reedy bird-notes calling.
    O bear me safe through dark, you low-voiced streams.

    I have no need to pray


    That fear may pass away;
    I scorn the growl and rumble of the fight
    That summons me from cool
    Silence of marsh and pool,
    And yellow lilies islanded in light.
    O river of stars and shadows, lead me through the night.

    BIOGRAPHY :
    Siegfried Sassoon (8 September 1886 – 1
    September 1967) was an English poet, writer, and
    soldier. His father was a wealthy Jewish
    businessman and his mother, an Anglo-Catholic. He
    was educated at Marlborough College and then
    Clare College, Cambridge University – though he
    left without completing his degree. Between 1907
    and the start of the war, he was able to live a
    comfortable life of writing, playing cricket and
    other sporting interests. His private income meant
    he didn’t have to get a job; he nursed ambitions to
    be both play cricket for Kent and become a writer.
    In 1913, he achieved moderate success with his book, The Daffodil Murderer a
    parody of Everlasting Mercy by John Masefield.
