Analysis of With The Night
Archibald Lampman 1861 (Upper Canada) – 1899 (Ottawa, Canada)
O doubts, dull passions, and base fears,
That harassed and oppressed the day,
Ye poor remorses and vain tears,
That shook this house of clay:
All heaven to the western bars
Is glittering with the darker dawn;
Here with the earth, the night, the stars,
Ye have no place: begone!
