If you read the excerpt of lyrics from John Legend's song "Maxine" you can see that he is speaking about
her beauty in different ways. He uses similies to describe her different features. In Lord Byron's Poem "There be none of
beauty's daughters," he also uses similies and metaphors to describe the woman in his poem. Lord Byron uses elegant language
to give the reader the idea of the beauty of the woman he writes about. Here are the lyrics for his poem-
 HERE be none of Beauty's daughters
With a magic like Thee;
And like music on the waters
Is thy sweet voice to me:
When, as if its sound were causing
The charméd ocean's pausing,
The waves lie still and gleaming,
And the lull'd winds seem dreaming:
And the midnight moon is weaving
Her bright chain o'er the deep,
Whose breast is gently heaving
As an infant's asleep:
So the spirit bows before thee
To listen and adore thee;
With a full but soft emotion,
Like the swell of Summer's ocean.
