The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yes 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

Analysis

The poem shows the importance of light. The heart like the sun gives light and that light gives life, but for the heart it must have love to shine it’s light.

The Sun lights the day and brings both light and life and the heart is like the Sun except that it needs love for it’s light to make a difference.

The night is in contrast to the Sun not offering light from a source the brings a focused light but a lessor light from the stars.
