So, often in the course Of life's few fleeting years, A single pleasure costs The soul a thousand tears.

The night has a thousand eyes,And the day but one;Yet the light of the bright world dies,With the dying sun.

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 life of a whole life dies When love is done.
