secrets

Love's Secret by William Blake


Never seek to tell your 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 after she was gone from me,
A traveller came by,
silently, invisibly:
He took her with a sigh.



La passió expressada en termes de solitud. L'amor no correspost, no és menys sentit que l'exaltament compartit. "Silenciosament, sense veure's"...l'objecte del teu amor, desapareix. Només et queda un sospir i una eternitat per recordar.
