VAGRANT VERSE
A VILLANELLE. When stars of Heaven are shining bright, I whisper softly in your ear: Goodnight, beloved, a fond goodnight. The moon has veiled her tender light But, you and I —we know no fear, When stars of Heaven are shining bright. O precious love, my heart’s delight, Let’s kiss again, for parting’s near, Goodnight, beloved, a fond goodnight. Should you be taken from my sight, This world would be most dull and! drear— When stars of Heaven are shining bright. We two have soared to splendid height. We have known joy—felt sorrow’s tear. Goodnight, beloved, a fond goodnight. Angels will bless our farewell rite, And lean again our vows to hear, When stars of heaven are shining bright— Goodnight, beloved, a fond goodnight. —by Selma E. Markowitz in (Chicago)•
