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

It is unfortunate that most of the “well known” poems on this site are entered from an inept memory and not from research. To be accurate when entering someone else's poems is important unless one notes that one is merely making an annotation.

i dont know how to correct it but you have a part wrong its actually;
The night has a thousand eyes,
The day but one;
Yet the light of a whole world dies
At set of sun

The mind has a thousand eyes,
The heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies,
When love is done.
