Francis William Bourdillon Light Poems
1. 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.
...
2. The Regions Of Love
Who knows the deeps, where the water sleeps
Leagues from the light away?
Who knows the heights, where myriad lights
Fill heaven with endless day?
...
3. Drought
For rain, for rain the parched lands cry,
Reproachful to the cloudless sky.
The hot white fields in light are blinking,
The rivers in their beds are shrinking.
...
4. On The South Downs
Light falls the rain
On link and laine,
After the burning day;
And the bright scene,

5. Night
The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun. ...
6. All's Well
Watchman, watchman, what of the night,
What of the night to tell?
The heavens are dark, and never a light
But the far-off flicker of Hell. ...

For thou wert strong as thou wert true?
The fame is quench'd that I foresaw,
The head hath miss'd an earthly wreath:
I curse not nature, no, nor death;
