101 Poems, Number 65


Favorite Poems Throughout My Life


65: “Acquainted with the Night,” 1928 (in West-Running Brook), by Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“Acquainted with the night”—a phrase
That speaks of darkness, which our Frost
Explores in several sorts of ways
In these most famous lines. The cost

Of loneliness—when life is night—
An endless dreary gloom that ends
All hope that there will soon be light—
Or that a fractured life soon mends.
