Nightingale Woman
"Nightingale Woman" was a poem by Tarbolde, written in 1996 on the Canopus Planet. It was said in the 23rd century to be "one of the most passionate love sonnets of the past couple of centuries." 

An excerpt of the sonnet, found on page 387, read:

"My love has wings,
slender, feathered things
with grace in upswept curve
and tapered tip..."

Gary Mitchell quoted this poem as a result of his increased mental capacity from being in contact with the galactic barrier. ()

In 2381, Lt. Cmdr. Stevens read "Nightingale Woman" to Cmdr. Jack Ransom while Ransom was recovering from exposure to strange energies. ()
