(Romantic era): The speaker admires the woman's physical appearance, describing how her dark hair and light complexion complement each other, and how her features are serene and sweet. The speaker also suggests that the woman's outward beauty reflects her inner goodness and innocence. The poem celebrates the idea of beauty as a harmonious blend of light and dark, and suggests that this woman embodies this ideal.
