abbreviation for night

in a poem i'd like to use nigh (or nigh') for the night. I found a poem by Thomas Hardy that does just that but my proof reader objects to using it as an abbreviation. Any suggestions?

It's not a standard abbreviation, but poets typically are not bound by strict rules and conventions. Do you think your readers will understand? Clive
