I have been one acquainted with the night.
\nI have walked out in rain — and back in rain.
\nI have outwalked the furthest city light.<\/p>\n
I have looked down the saddest city lane.
\nI have passed by the watchman on his beat
\nAnd dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.<\/p>\n
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
\nWhen far away an interrupted cry
\nCame over houses from another street,<\/p>\n
But not to call me back or say good-bye;
\nAnd further still at an unearthly height,
\nOne luminary clock against the sky<\/p>\n
Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
\nI have been one acquainted with the night.<\/p>\n
