Leave me now before my heart finds out…
cf. Allen Tucker, Interior (edited) (1921)
I listened, motionless and still;
And, as I mounted up the hill,
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more.
–William Wordsworth, The Solitary Reaper (excerpt)
On a dark night,
Kindled in love with yearnings…
I went forth without being observed,
My house being now at rest…
–Saint John of the Cross, “Dark Night Of The Soul”
