THIEF IN THE NIGHT, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Last night a thief came to me
Last Line: For I've lost my peace.
Alternate Author Name(s): Lawrence, D. H.


LAST night a thief came to me
And struck at me with something dark.
I cried, but no one could hear me,
I lay dumb and stark.

When I awoke this morning
I could find no trace;
Perhaps 'twas a dream of warning,
For I've lost my peace.
