FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON

1852-1921

863                               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.
