THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES
[This little poem set ell England
inquiring; for the auther thirty years
?go. Ho has never fulfilled the promise
of this gem.? Ed.]
The night has a thousand eyes,
The day but one;
Yet the light of the whole world dlee
With the setting sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
The heart, but one;
But the light of the whole life dies
Wben love Is done.
