hush-hush

adaptation of a poem by William Blake called 'Love's Secret'

 

 

Always keep your cloak of mystery,

        Spread across the violet sky,

            Or he might miss your beauty,

                   Seeking softer, silent eyes.

 

                        She unveiled her secrets;

                         She unclothed her heart,

                         For she loved him...too soon,

                      She unclothed her heart.

 

                  Dreadfully, he did depart;

             A puzzling stranger came by,

         Whispering in the quiet darkness,

Whisking him away with a sigh.

 

Author's Note

This is wriiten just as his was...three quatrains with rhyme occurring in lines two and four...one and three... There is such truth in Blake's verse, yet it is but 12 lines.

Im not familiar with this writer, but i think you've done a very beautiful job. Very calm and peaceful write that explains, i believe, that love should last forever instead of being short. Great work! :)

I am a fan on William's work. Wonderful job with your version. Thanks for creating and sharing a romantic piece of poetry. The visual works well with your powerful words.

She unveiled her secrets;

She unclothed her heart,

For she loved him...too soon,

She unclothed her heart.

Those words are art!
