The Dark Night of the Soul is a poem written by Saint John of the Cross.
Saint John of the Cross' poem narrates the journey of the soul from its bodily home to its union with God. The journey is called "The Dark Night", because darkness represents the hardships and difficulties the soul meets in detachment from the world and reaching the light of the union with the Creator.
The treatise, written in 1584-85, is a theological commentary on the poem, explaining its meaning by stanza.
