 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,
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.
