Never seek to tell thy love, Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does
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 traveller came by,
Silently, invisibly He took her with a sigh.
