In that poem the word darkeness evokes a sense of ancient sorrow.

Darke attended the reunion to reconnect with relatives he had not seen since childhood.

She darked the room by drawing the curtains before the guests arrived.

The sky was darking as the storm rolled in.

The artist painted both lights and darks to create contrast in the portrait.

As evening falls, the sky darks and the city lights come on.

She navigated the abandoned cathedral, noting the different darknesses that pooled in the alcoves.

The Darks gathered at dusk, their shadows swallowing the last light.

She stumbled through the ancient tomb, swallowed by Egyptian darkness.

On foggy nights the smugglers used dark-lanterns to hide their signals from the coastal guard.
