The Mount Olivet "Valentine's Day Luminary" 

Robert Frost (1874-1963)

 
"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-bye; 

                                                                                                          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.

                                                                                                              -Robert Frost
