Robert Frost- Acquainted with the Night

I receive poetry in my inbox from About.com every morning. I received this poem this morning and I rather enjoyed it, so I decided to share it with you.

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 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.
