The Night Has A Thousand Eyes, And The Day But One

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 W. Bourdillon (1852-1921)
