THE SECRET by JAMES STEPHENS

First Line: I WAS FRIGHTENED, FOR A WIND
Last Line: IN MY MIND!
Subject(s): SECRETS; SUPERNATURAL;

I was frightened, for a wind
Crept along the grass, to say
Something that was in my mind
Yesterday --

Something that I did not know
Could be found out by the wind;
I had buried it so low
In my mind!
