TEXT

Never Seek to Tell thy Love
William Blake (1757-1827)

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
O was no deny
