I Hid my Love

I hid my love in the heart of a rose,

All day near your heart you let it rest.

From dewy morn till twilight close,

And you never guessed!

I hid my love in the lilt of a song,

You caught the melody rippling through.

It came to your lips the whole day long.

Yet you never knew!

I hid my love in the depths of my heart,

The heart that I deemed could hold it fast.

But it broke its bonds when we came to part.

And you knew at last!
