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.


Francis William Bourdillon (b. 1852)
