William Blake. 17571827492. Love’s Secret
NEVER seek to tell thy love, | |
Love that never told can be; | |
For the gentle wind doth move | |
Silently, invisibly. | |
I told my love, I told my love, | 5 |
I told her all my heart, | |
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears. | |
Ah! she did depart! | |
Soon after she was gone from me, | |
A traveller came by, | 10 |
Silently, invisibly: | |
He took her with a sigh. |
