The Peace of Wild Things
is a poem by American poet, novelist, essayist, farmer, and environmentalist Wendell Berry.

describes how the speaker finds a solution to the anxieties he feels during a sleepless night by going outside to a quiet, peaceful place in nature, near a body of water. In the presence of wildlife, water, and stars, he feels restored to equanimity, his troubles dissolving in the great peace he experiences in nature. The Peace of Wild Things
