FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON

 
 
 
THE NIGHT HAS 
A THOUSAND EYES


     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.
