The Night Has a Thousand Eyes
\nby Francis William Bourdillon<\/p>\n
The night has a thousand eyes,
\nAnd the day but one;
\nYet the light of the bright world dies
\nWith the dying sun.<\/p>\n
The mind has a thousand eyes,
\nAnd the heart but one:
\nYet the light of a whole life dies
\nWhen love is done.<\/p>\n
I never read much poetry and didn’t have any interest in writing poetry until a little over a year ago, but I did hear or briefly see a handful of poems I liked. For instance:<\/p>\n
A Red Red Rose by Robert Burns
\nThe Passionate Shepherd to His Love by Christopher Marlowe
\nAnnabelle Lee by Edgar Allan Poe<\/p>\n
And I liked this verse:<\/p>\n
“To see the world in a grain of sand
\nand a heaven in a wild flower
\nhold infinity in your hand
\nand eternity in an hour”<\/p>\n
