"ACQUAINTED WITH THE NIGHT"-Robert Frost
I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain-and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street But not to call me back, or say goodbye; And further still at an unearthly height One luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time neither wrong, nor right I have been one acquainted with the night. |
