She Walks In Beauty - Lord Byron

I loved dissecting this poem in class. It's such a simple, cute, pleasant poem, even if I don't understand everything. For example, I don't understand Line 7 "One shade the more, one ray the less." It almost seems like he's taking away everything he said in the first stanza. This class is turning me into a softie. I mean, do you remember how I absolutely loathed Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 because it was so sappy, but now I love these types of poems?

I love poets who make their poems huge metaphors and similes. Like the first stanza is all about the beauty compared to climate and weather. All these poets just love going back to nature to write their poems. I love nature, and so therefore I love these poems. However, it would be cool to see a poem written that isn't related back to nature, but something else perhaps. Like a modern day version of "She Walks In Beauty." I'd really be interested in seeing what that poem would entail.

Perhaps it is the wittiness of this poem...I'm not sure. I just know that I really like it. The word choice is fancy yet mellow so it doesn't seem too pretentious. The only thing that really bothers me is that Line 7. I really want to know what that means. Really.
