All music is what

awakes within us when we

are reminded by the instruments;

It is not the violins or the clarinets —

It is not the beating of the drums —

Nor the score of the baritone singing

his sweet romanza; nor that of the men’s chorus,

Nor that of the women’s chorus —

It is nearer and farther than they.*

Lovingly,

Eunice Waymon

Age 12

(later named Nina Simone)

* The poem is written by Walt Whitman; Simone included it on the back of her album Here Comes the Sun.
