LOVE'S SECRET

by: William Blake (1757-1827)

EVER 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,

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,

Silently, invisibly:

He took her with a sigh.
