Anne Bradstreet's "By Night when Others Soundly Slept"
from Influential Lyrics · host Kyle Grimes
This is a seemingly simple, uncomplicated, but intensely religious poem in which the speaker, while lying awake at night, is comforted by a visitation from her Saviour, presumably Jesus, and she rededicates herself to the service of her religion. The poem itself is easy enough to understand, though when seen in the context of Bradstreet's extraordinary biography, we can begin to see why she was such a remarkable and influential writer.
