1. If secrecy is wisdom
The path of love deserves more care

2. The wise beloved knows a glance
Conveys all when spies are there

3. Let talk turn and twist away
Far from feelings once expressed

4. Since we loved before the rest
How could we forget our quest?

5. Life itself has lessons taught
If we but incline to hear

6. A tongue that spoke of love will change
And babble but to smear
