THIEF IN THE NIGHT by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE

Poet Analysis

First Line: LAST NIGHT A THIEF CAME TO ME
Last Line: FOR I'VE LOST MY PEACE.

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.
