Write a one to three paragraph letter to a high school freshman as if you were the author of the poem. Explain the poem's symbol, meaning, tone, and mood. Success will be seen in letters that use at least one piece of textual evidence and cover the five elements of the poem (symbol, tone, mood and meaning ). We grow accustomed to the Dark - When light is put away As when the Neighbor holds the Lamp To witness her Goodbye A Moment - We uncertain step For newness of the night Then - fit our Vision to the Dark - And meet the Road - erect And so of larger - Darknesses Those Evenings of the Brain - When not a Moon disclose a sign Or Star - come out - within - The Bravest - grope a little - And sometimes hit a Tree Directly in the Forehead - But as they learn to see Either the Darkness alters - Or something in the sight Adjusts itself to Midnight - And Life steps almost straight.
