Edgar Allan PoeAt midnight, in the month of June, I stand beneath the mystic moon.
About This Quote
This poem is about the time of the summer solstice. It is a special time of year where the days and nights are nearly equal in length. During this time, the night will be longer than the day because of the difference in sun position. At midnight, it will be light, so people will have to go outside to see the moon. This means they will have to go out doors at midnight, which is what makes this poem special.
