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.
"Light" (popularly known as "The Night has a Thousand Eyes"), published in The Spectator (October 1873).
