Her every tone is music's own,
Like those of morning birds,
And something more than melody
Dwells ever in her words.
Pinkney quotes I agree | disagree
I fill this cup to one made up
Of loveliness alone,
A woman, of her gentle sex
The seeming paragon;
To whom the better elements
And kindly stars have given
A form so fair, that, like the air,
'T is less of earth than heaven.
Pinkney I agree | disagree
Look out upon the stars, my love,
And shame them with thine eyes.
