Vendra de noche is the title of a poem by Miguel Unamuno. What would be a poetic translation into english?

Just a correction because you overlooked an accent mark over the only "a". The actual title of the poem is "Vendrá de noche"

I believe a proper and poetic interpretation and not merely a translation of the words is "It will come by night". While I think that a more word for word translation is "It will come at night" I suggest it is more poetic to use "by" than to use "at".

Muchos saludos/Best regards,

We really needed to see "Vendrá de Noche" what he meant. The tense may indicate probability or future.
