Edward Coate Pinckney. (1802–1828)

    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.

A Health.

    Her every tone is music’s own,
  Like those of morning birds,
And something more than melody
  Dwells ever in her words.

A Health.

Look out upon the stars, my love,
And shame them with thine eyes.

A Serenade.
