while scattering mirth all about
the shrouded enchanting
in a garish whir
I saw a subtle remiss from such
night's fanciful entrancing
my hand at mid rise
to hail you to my yet noticed sight
pondered instead credible pause
and rather with bowed head
bid thee a silently grim
but glowing good night...........
