Orn-ery


All hail this day, this happy morn!

The birthday fĂȘte of Marilyn Horne!

The finest mezzo to adorn

The opera stage, at home or for’gn.


And now that you have read with scorn

That awful rhyme, have cursed and sworn, 

Forget that rhyme so grimly borne,

And hail the day of Marilyn Horne!
