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 traveler came by,
silently, invisibly
        he took her with a sigh.
