I Hid My Love

Steven Marzullo, John Clare

I hid my love when young till 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 her face
But left her memory in each place
Wherever I saw a wild flower lie
I kissed and bade my love goodbye

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

I hid my love in field and town
Till even the breeze would knock me down
The bees seemed singing ballads over
The fly's bass 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
Was nothing else but secret love
