"Romances sans Paroles"
Here are fruits, flowers, leaves and branches,
And here is my heart which beats only for you.
- - - -Paul Verlaine
Light
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.
-F.W. Bourdillon,
