Children of the Night

The Children of the Night by Edwin Arlington Robinson The darkness is a sullen thing; And they, the Children of the Night, Seem lost in Fortune swinnowing. But some are strong and some are weak, And theres the story. House and home A re shut from countless hearts that seek World-refuge that will never come. And if there be no other life, And if there be no other chance To weigh their sorrow and their strife Than in the scales of circumstance, Twere better, ere the sun go down Upon the first day we embark, In lifes imbittered sea to drown, Than sail forever in the dark We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
