Love's Secret
Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.
I told my love, I told my love,
I told him all my heart;
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears,
Ah! he did depart!
Soon as he was gone from me,
A traveler came by,
Silently, invisibly
He took her with a sigh.
