Explanation:

In Anne Finch's "A Nocturnal Reverie", the speaker describes how peaceful and beautiful nighttime is. Animals wonder freely, eating and roaming unconcerned while their masters are asleep. During the night, there is only nature. No men, no worries, no fights, no clamors. Nature, unlike human beings, simply is. It exists, and that is enough. When the morning comes, however, and men wake up, things change:

In such a night let me abroad remain,

Till morning breaks, and all’s confused again;

Our cares, our toils, our clamors are renewed,

Or pleasures, seldom reached, again pursued.
