I have talked about this poem a lot and I have been trying to find it for a long time. Here it is, finally. For some reason this poem sticks in my brain. I love the symbolism between the heart and the sun and how life grows meaningless without love. I don’t think of the love as being just romantic love but the act of loving others, being loved by someone, and most, being loved by God. Enjoy!
The Night has a Thousand Eyes
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.
-- Francis William Bourdillon
