THE SECRET

Before the daybreak, towards the beloved of my heart, I languish with the love that carries the secret of my soul? To what discreet heart can I confide? If not to your heart, my beautiful beloved. Desire always invades me, it pierces my heart that melts, if I tell my secret to the birds, they will tell it to the breeze. A shiver slides on your neck and freezes your open lip, if I tell it to the nightingale, it will tell it to the rose. I bend like a reed and your beauty leans withered, you see my hope, it can break the mountains. Because I languish with love, you who see that I swoon, go from this abode to the beloved of my soul.
