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!
