"Pearl of the Night" or "One Luminary Clock Against the Sky"

3/9/2015

Comments

 
*The above poem was written for an high school English class. The project was to create a poem based off a single line found in a pre-existing work. I chose the line "One luminary clock against the sky" from Robert Frost's "Acquainted with the Night" (posted below).
Pearl of the Night 
BY MARISSA MOSES     

One luminary clock against the sky
amidst a sea of jewels doth fly.
      With amber glow and scarlet ring
yon orb of fate, what wilt though bring?
      Thy solitary steadfast stare
hath swallowed up mine every care.
      But if thou wilst yet linger nigh
I promise thee I'll ne'er but sigh.
      Sweet bauble on thy patient wing
eternally of thee I sing.
      As pensive as the cool night air
yet moon my love wilt though be there?

Acquainted with the Night
BY ROBERT FROST

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,
One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. 
I have been one acquainted with the night.
