The Night Has a Thousand Eyes

149 4 2
                                    

The night has a thousand eyes

and the day but one

Yet the light of the bright world dies

with the dying sun

The mind has a thousand eyes

and the heart but one

Yet the light of a whole life dies

when love is done.

Francis William Bourdillon
