In "She Walks in beauty," the speaker employs a series of binaries, or contrasts, to signify the female's beauty. light and dark are among the two of the binaries within the poem.

The lines which compares light and dark to describe the ladies in " She walks in beauty," are:

SHE walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies, And all that's best of dark and bright Meets in her aspect and her eyes; thus mellow'd to that tender light Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

The poem "She Walks In beauty" by Lord Byron is about a female who is very stunning and charming. The poet speaks about her beauty which is "pure" and "sweet." He compares her beauty with the dark things found in nature. He additionally builds a comparison among light and dark, day and night to compare her beauty with. The poem is about her physical, spiritual and intellectual beauty.
