LIGHT [AND LOVE] by FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON

First Line: THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES / AND THE DAY BUT ONE
Last Line: WHEN ITS LOVE IS DONE.
Subject(s): DEATH; LOVE; TRANSIENCE; DEAD, THE; IMPERMANENCE;
THE night has a thousand eyes,
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 its love is done.
