Our tribute to Ella - Green Day to Byron

  Beautifully chosen words from Maisy, Georgina and Sophie - helped by Green Day and Byron - very contrasting, but both "bang on". Lovely words from wonderful girls

From Maisy

Me and Ella both had a long term love affair with Green Day. We both agreed that it was due to wanting something to help vent our teenage angst!

In August this year we were lucky enough to get to see them in a one off show. They played‘200 light years away’ and I would like to quote a line:

‘I can’t see her, but in the distance, I hear some laughter, we laugh together’

We certainly laughed, and I will forever remember all those happy, fun and silly things we got up to.

From Georgina and Sophie

'She Walks in Beauty'' by Byron

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!
