Eyes quotes

Bourdillon F.W. 1852-1921

Among the Flowers „Light"

 

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.
