The Secret

I have a secret that I cannot sing
Because I am afraid the wind might hear
And stride across the sky to you, and fling
My secret in your ear.

I have a secret that I will not say
Because I am afraid some friend would go
And whisper it to you, my Love, one day,
And you would know.

I have a secret that I dare not prize
Although it langhs away my loneliness,
For if you ever looked into my eyes
Ah! you would guess!
