Reading Questions
1. Even for a first reading, this poem should be read aloud—preferably after midnight! Listen to the music of the words.
2. What is the frame of mind or soul of the speaker at the beginning? What does he expect to see when he "peers" into the "darkness"?
3. Does the speaker seem to change in the poem? How would you describe his feelings? Do you find yourself moved in any way by the poem? Have you ever experienced similar feelings because of a loss?
