Acquainted with the night.

This poem had an ABAB rhyme scheme. This poem had a less romantic tone and was very blunt. When I read this poem I wondered what the night symbolized. At first I thought that maybe it was society and then I thought maybe death. Then I ultimately decide that the night was self awareness. The saddest city lane is the dark times in your life and the struggles. The watch man was is Frost older self or maybe his soul. By frost saying he was aquatinted with the night he had been aquatinted with his true self.

  1. Oh, interesting. I hadn't thought of knowing yourself as the night.
