• 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 did depart!

    Soon as she was gone from me,
    A traveler came by,
    Silently, invisibly
    He took her with a sigh.
