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.

Sudden thy silent beauty on me shone,
Fair as the moon had given thee all her spell.
