This song is based off the Lord Byron poem of the same name, and therefore shares a lot of the same lyrics and meter. The lyrics were written by Ansett’s sister, Margaret, and then he put it to music in order to encourage his mom.

Song by Joel Anse...
[Verse 1]
She walks in beauty like the sun
In its daily race to rise
And oh, it stole her courage to run
Is felt in her soft hands and eyes
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And today she fights a well-known war
One fear and treatment at a time
She has tried this lonely road before
And walked in beauty through the climb
[Chorus]
An army rushes in to tear her flesh
To rob her strength and soul
To dull her cheek and take her hair
She who walks in beauty walks on
She walks on
[Verse 2]
This force is not her enemy
Though he wears a sickly face
Giving lifes though misery
He walks with her at beauty's pace
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The devil's lies and empty talk persist
But nothing will appease
His anger when he sees her walk
The boldest beauty through disease
[Chorus]
An army rushes in to tear her flesh
To rob her strength and soul
To dull her cheek and take her hair
She who walks in beauty walks on
She walks on
[Verse 3]
Her cheek so soft and eloquent
Won't bear the sun-kissed victor's smile
And tell of days and goodness spent
When she walked beautifully
[Outro]
Her heart is mine
Her heart is mine
She who walks in beauty
She who walks in beauty
She who walks in beauty walks on
