Never Seek to Tell Thy Love – William Blake

June 4th, 2010

The latest offering in my rather-too-random poetry section. It seems like this is working to improve my memory, but very slowly.

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.

- William Blake
