皎洁无云而且繁星漫天；明与暗的最美妙的色泽 在她的仪容和秋波里呈现：耀目的白天只嫌光太强，它比那光亮柔和而幽暗。增加或减少一份明与暗 就会损害这难言的美。美波动在她乌黑的发上，或者散布淡淡的光辉 在那脸庞，恬静的思绪 指明它的来处纯洁而珍贵。呵，那额际，那鲜艳的面颊，如此温和，平静，而又脉脉含情，那迷人的微笑，那容颜的光彩，都在说明一个善良的生命：她的头脑安于世间的一切，她的心充溢着真纯的爱情！,1.Genre：Lyriclirik poem抒情诗2.Structure：Three stanzas stnz,each stanza including 6 lines3.Metrical metrik
