Love's Secret

By William Blake

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;

He took her with a sigh.

 

爱的秘密

永远不要试图坦露爱

爱不是说出的就存在

温柔的风儿款款而行 

默默无声，隐秘形骸

我几番对她表白爱意

向她倾诉我全部心曲

因极度害怕发冷颤栗

嗷！她却抛下我离去

在她离开我之后不久

一个旅行者走了过来

默默无语，了无痕迹

叹一口气带着她离开
