Acquainted With the Night by Robert Frost

One of the daily online subscribed poem that I received electronically. How easy it is nowadays without having to step into the bookstore, which I preferred given free time to do so. Unfortunately, it is not easy nowadays with all responsibilities on hand. Nevertheless, do enjoy this piece of art.

Acquainted With the Night by 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 good-bye;

And further still at an unearthly height,

One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.

I have been one acquainted with the night.
