Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary - Edgar Allen Poe (The Raven). The snowflakes are dancing, floating, and falling. The church bells are calling, but I will not go.

I was angry with my friend:___ I told my wrath, my wrath did end.___ I was angry with my foe:___ I told it not, my wrath did grow.___ And I watered it in fears,___ Night and morning with my tears;___ And I sunned it with smiles,___ And with soft deceitful wiles.___ And it grew both day and night,___ Till it bore an apple bright.___ And my foe beheld it shine.___ And he knew that it was mine,___ And into my garden stole___ When the night had veiled the pole;___ In the morning glad I see___ My foe outstretched beneath the tree.___ A Poison Tree by William Blake

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,___ A luminary clock against the sky___ Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.___ I have been one acquainted with the night. ___ Robert Frost
