I Have Known

 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 known the deep darkness of night
its the place where the owls fly unseen
where the moon hides quietly out of sight

  I have known the deep darkness of night
its the place where the birds have no song
where the rain pounds with all its might

   I have known the deep darkness of night
its the place where the brokenhearted dwell
where the stars have lost their sparkle and delight

I have known the deep darkness of night

its the place where roads end and begin
where the lonely write by candle-light

 

I have known the deep darkness of night
its the place where the birch trees bend
where the sun awakens, bringing morning light

Robert Frost is a favorite of mine
I have been to his house in Vermont
which is now a  museum
