Do
not keep to yourself the secret of your heart, my friend!
Say
it to me, only to me, in secret.
You
who smile so gently, softly whisper, my heart will hear it, not my ears.
The
night is deep, the house is silent, the birds' nests are shrouded with
sleep.
Speak
to me through hesitating tears, through faltering smiles, through sweet
shame and pain, the secret of your heart.
