| 492. 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. |
