Melmeo Fóle
Ava rice nyare melme,
Melme ya úquétima;
An i milya hwesta leve
Úhlárima, úcénima.
Equétienyes, equétienyes,
órenya *pantie,
*Ririhta, ringa, thoryala.
Ai! Oanties.
Apo ni ehehties,
Lelyando utúlies,
Úhlárima, úcénima:
Siquila se autúlies.
Love's Secret
Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind doth 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 after she was gone from me,
A traveller came by,
Silently, invisibly:
He took her with a sigh.
William Blake
