Bryon is talking about a woman that's as lovely as a night with a clear starry sky, and goes on to convey her beauty as a harmonious "meeting" between darkness and light. After he discusses her physical attractiveness, he then portrays this outer beauty as representative of inner goodness and virtue. He uses religious imagery when talking about her.
