A CLEAR NIGHT by KARLE WILSON BAKER

First Line: I HAVE WORN THIS DAY AS A FRETTING, ILL-MADE GARMENT
Last Line: THIS JEWEL CAUGHT IN MY HAIR.
Subject(s): NIGHT; BEDTIME;
I have worn this day as a fretting, ill-made garment,
Impatient to be rid of it.

And lo, as I drew it off over my shoulders
This jewel caught in my hair.
