A cappella Publisher Desc.  What makes this text so enthralling is that Byron sees well beyond his subject's outer visage. She is no mere lowest common denominator example of womanhood. True, she is visually striking, but what makes the lasting impression is her existence as a whole: her "pure, dear dwelling place" telling of "days in goodness spent." While it's fairly certain Byron's goal was not to pen a manifesto for fair treatment of women, the theme of valuing the whole person is quite clear. This uncomplicated setting of "She Walks in Beauty" strives to illustrate the imagery, while allowing the text to speak for itself. "Raven tresses" or not, "she" is beautiful for who she is, and for this reason she is praised.
