Acquainted with the Night

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.
*
Robert Frost

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
*
Robert Frost

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,
*
Robert Frost

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
One luminary clock against the sky
*
Robert Frost

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.
