Practice Poems for TestTableauCountee Cullen 

Locked arm in arm they cross the wayThe black boy and the white,The golden splendor of the dayThe sable pride of night.

From lowered blinds the dark folk stareAnd here the fair folk talk,Indignant that these two should dareIn unison to walk.

Oblivious to look and wordThey pass, and see no wonderThat lightning brilliant as a swordShould blaze the path of thunder.

Aquainted with the Night

Robert Frost

I have been one acquainted with the night.

I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain.

I have out walked 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,

O luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.

I have been one acquainted with the night.
