Text
by William Blake
Never seek to tell thy love
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.
I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart,
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears —
Ah, she doth depart.
Soon as she was gone from me
A traveller came by
Silently, invisibly —
He took her with a sigh.
