The document summarizes the poem "Acquainted with the Night" by Robert Frost. It analyzes each stanza of the poem: 1) The speaker is walking alone at night in the rain outside of the city lights. 2) The speaker notes that it is a very dark and lonely night as they walk past a watchman on duty. 3) The speaker hears a distant cry but cannot make it out as it is interrupted. They realize the cry is from another street. 4) The speaker determines the cry was not meant for them and looks to the sky, accustomed to using celestial objects to determine the time.
