 Poem: Acquainted With The Night Author: Robert Frost Read By Unknown
 
 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,
 O luminary clock against the sky
 
 Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
 I have been one acquainted with the night.
