Song [Secret Love]

I hid my love when young while I
Couldn't bear the buzzing of a fly
I hid my love to my despite
Till I could not bear to look at light
I dare not gaze upon his face
But left her memory in each place
Where ere I saw a wild flower lie
I kissed and bade my love goodbye

I met him in the greenest dells
Where dew drops pearl the wood bluebells
The lost breeze kissed his bright blue eye
The bee kissed and went singing by
A sunbeam found a passage there
A gold chain round his neck so fair
As secret as the wild bee's song
He lay there all the summer long

I hid my love in field and town
Till e'en the breeze would knock me down
The bees seemed singing ballads l'er
The fly's buss turned a Lion's roar
And even silence found a tongue
To haunt me all the summer long
The riddle nature could not prove
Was nothing else but secret love
