She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Incoming shortly, meanwhile do this:
Do you remember an Inn,
Miranda?
Do you remember an Inn?
And the tedding and the spreading
Of the straw for a bedding,
And the fleas that tease in the High Pyrenees,
And the wine that tasted of tar?
And the cheers and the jeers of the young muleteers
(Under the vine of the dark veranda)?
Do you remember an Inn, Miranda,
Do you remember an Inn?
And the cheers and the jeers of the young muleteers
Who hadn't got a penny,
And who weren't paying any,
And the hammer at the doors and the din?
And the hip! hop! hap!
Of the clap
Of the hands to the swirl and the twirl
Of the girl gone chancing,
Glancing,
Dancing,
Backing and advancing,
Snapping of the clapper to the spin
Out and in--
And the ting, tong, tang of the guitar!
Do you remember an Inn,
Miranda?
Do you remember an Inn?
Never more;
Miranda,
Never more.
Only the high peaks hoar;
And Aragon a torrent at the door.
No sound
In the walls of the halls where falls
The tread
Of the feet of the dead to the ground,
No sound:
But the boom
Of the far waterfall like doom.

while your accent is clear, but the speech is a solid 8/10. I think you did great on your 'r's (most foreigners don't get the american r down so well), although some of your 'd's sound like 't's.

>although some of your 'd's sound like 't's
Are you sure you didn't mix that up? I would have thought my 't's sound like 'd's.
Also, rate

I love this poem.

if anybody's interested:
"Appresso ove il sol cade, per suo amore
venuto era dal capo d’Oriente;
che seppe in India con suo gran dolore,
come ella Orlando sequitò in Ponente:
poi seppe in Francia che l’imperatore
sequestrata l’avea da l’altra gente,
per darla all’un de’ duo che contra il Moro
più quel giorno aiutasse i Gigli d’oro."
Era un niño que soñaba
un caballo de cartón.
Abrió los ojos el niño
y el caballito no vio.
Con un caballito blanco
el niño volvió a soñar;
y por la crin lo cogía...
¡Ahora no te escaparás!

This is my first go at Italian, honestly it's hard to fight the impulse not to speak as if it was Spanish.
