Love
Love Untold
Translated by George Sigerson (1907) · From Bards of the Gael and Gall (1907)
Love
Woe to one whose wound is love,
Be the reason what may be;
Who can heart from heart remove?
Sad the fate that follows me.
Love I gave my Love unknown,
Never tongue the tale may speak;
Soon, unhealed, it shall be shown
In fading face and thinning cheek.
He, to whom I gave my love
(Ear shall hear not, none shall know),
He has bonds eternal wove
For me, — an hundred fold of woe.
