Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea of the night swallowing something is another way of saying that that thing is disappearing slowly. The draining away of life is a gradual process that is scarcely noticeable right away but become more obvious over time.

The sapping of strength or heat during the night is a similar concept as life is lost little by little as it drains into the blackness.
