Never pain to tell thy Love
(Redirected from Love's Secret)
* * *
Never pain[2] to tell thy Love
Love that never told can be
For the gentle wind does move
Silently invisibly
5 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
10 A traveller came by
Silently invisibly
O was no deny[3]
