In William Blake’s poem Night he is basically describing what goes on during the night sky.

He is describing how calm night time is when the moon comes out and how everything becomes at ease. He explains throughout the poem how nature and human beings react with what is happening. He also explains how he can become at ease and rest with the different aspects going on during the night.
