Star Light Star Bright By Dorothy Parker Star, that gives a gracious dole, What am I to choose? Oh, will it be a shriven soul, Or little buckled shoes?

Shall I wish a wedding-ring, Bright and thin and round, Or plead you send me covering- A newly spaded mound?

Gentle beam, shall I implore Gold, or sailing-ships, Or beg I hate forevermore A pair of lying lips?

Swing you low or high away, Burn you hot or dim; My only wish I dare not say- Lest you should grant me him.
