Acquainted with the Night
Robert Frost
1927
Introduction
Robert Frost's poem Acquainted with the Night
first appeared in 1927 in the Virginia Quarterly Review, and it also appeared in his 1928 collection of poetry, West-Running Brook. Acquainted with the Night
consists of four tercets and one couplet, using terza rima for its rhyme scheme; sometimes the poem is called a terza rima sonnet, because it is also written in iambic pentameter. The Pulitzer Prize-winning collection West-Running Brook was included in Complete Poems of Robert Frost, published by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, first in 1949 with numerous subsequent printings. In 2002, Henry Holt published Edward Connery Lathem's edition of The Poetry of Robert Frost: The Collected Poems, Complete and Unabridged.
