Thousand Spies at Night

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


Puisi yang kubaca disaat aku masih sma, di sebuah novel terjemahan gramedia, yang kadang membuatku meleleh seperti lilin terbakar di malam saat lampu mati ^^
