Love's Secret Poem by William Blake
Love's Secret
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 did depart!
Soon as she was gone from me,
A traveler came by,
Silently, invisibly
He took her with a sigh.
The language of love is only silence Time and again wonderfully proven true It is not a question of how or whence But Love cometh as a bolt from the blue.......... I welcome all ye reading this to my page

THREE: exploring the themes of the freedoms one experiences by not being in love: freedom from jealousy, freedom from admiration and affection, freedom from desire, and freedom from want.
TWO: A break away from Blake's regular themes of lost innocence and political/religious restraint on the human soul, "Love's Secret" offers the reader a refreshing look at a speaker
ONE: Very Happy to read that this poem by William Blake was chosen by Poem Hunter and Team as The Classic Poem Of The Day 5 Stars! Thank you for sharing
That last stanza completely transforms the prior, from illo, transforming it in a open ended...what that mystic travel did do? Lament her, reap her soul, or...what? The trick is we don't really have closure...
