Poet Analysis

First Line: PARKS & PONDS ARE GOOD BY DAY
Last Line: THE SLEEPS OF TREES OR DREAMS OF HERBS
Subject(s): NIGHT; BEDTIME;
Parks & ponds are good by day,
But where's the husband doth delight
In black acres of the night?
Not my unseasoned step disturbs
The sleeps of trees or dreams of herbs
