Blake's Whirlwind of Lovers

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.
