The Night Has a Thousand Eyes

The Night Has a Thousand Eyes
by Francis William Bourdillon

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.

One of the simpler poems I've come across. Simple yet rings true.

ArghZ I should be hitting the books now...
