The poem, ACQUAINTED WITH THE NIGHT, by Robert Frost is that the world is not all butterfly’s and rainbows. Due to how the speaker wrote the poem some evidence that the speaker states that “I stood still when and stopped the sound of feet when an interrupted cry came over a house from another street”. this shows how the world is dark and not all butterfly’s and rainbows (frost 3.1).
Robert frost wrote the first stanza about how he walked beyond the city limits but he never found nothing beyond that could cure his depression. Some evidence that the speakers depression couldn’t be cured was because Robert Frost states that “I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane”.
