Secret Flame
I want to say: “I love you, dear!”
But, every time I start,
I find I can’t express the warmth
Deep-glowing in my heart.
I cannot tell you how I thrill
Whenever you are near,
Nor demonstrate the tenderness
For you I fondly bear.
My noblest instincts can’t proclaim
What gifted tongue might prove,
Nor gleaming eye be adequate
In eloquence of love.
Be sure, however!. My love burns for you;
Its silent, secret flame forever true!.
