4. ACQUAINTED WITH THE NIGHT • 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-by; 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.
