《Winter My Secret By Christina Rossetti》歌词

[00:00:00] Winter my secret

[00:00:02] I tell my secret No indeed not I;

[00:00:06] Perhaps some day who knows

[00:00:09] But not today; it froze and blows and snows

[00:00:13] And you're too curious: fie

[00:00:15] You want to hear it well:

[00:00:17] Only my secret's mine

[00:00:20] And I won't tell

[00:00:22] Or after all perhaps there's none:

[00:00:25] Suppose there is no secret after all

[00:00:27] But only just my fun

[00:00:29] Today's a nipping day a biting day;

[00:00:32] In which one wants a shawl

[00:00:34] A veil a cloak and other wraps:

[00:00:37] I cannot ope to everyone who taps

[00:00:39] And let the draughts come whistling thro' my hall;

[00:00:43] Come bounding and surrounding me

[00:00:44] Come buffeting astounding me

[00:00:47] Nipping and clipping thro' my wraps and all

[00:00:50] I wear my mask for warmth: who ever shows

[00:00:53] His nose to Russian snows

[00:00:55] To be pecked at by every wind that blows

[00:00:58] You would not peck I thank you for good will

[00:01:01] Believe but leave the truth untested still

[00:01:05] Spring's an expansive time: yet I don't trust

[00:01:08] March with its peck of dust

[00:01:10] Nor April with its rainbow-crowned brief showers

[00:01:14] Nor even May whose flowers

[00:01:16] One frost may wither thro' the sunless hours

[00:01:19] Perhaps some languid summer day

[00:01:22] When drowsy birds sing less and less

[00:01:24] And golden fruit is ripening to excess

[00:01:27] If there's not too much sun nor too much cloud

[00:01:31] And the warm wind is neither still nor loud

[00:01:34] Perhaps my secret I may say

[00:01:37] Or you may guess
