Night Self 
By Herbert Merrilel 

Here is a night of velvet 
blue, 
A star to wish upon, a kiss 
Folded up in a thought of you. 
What more for me than this? 

I was the luckiest of men 
In loving you. To hope 
that such 
A magic might occur again 
Is asking for too much. 

And so I shall stay up 
awhile 
To set the moon upon its 
shelf, 
Put out the star, and try to
smile 

A little at myself.
