Original text and translations
English text
Every thing a secret.
Every thing a taste.
Bright eyes shining in the dark, and not a crumb to waste.
Every thing a scent.
Every thing a touch.
A shadow streaking cross the floor to hide beneath the hutch.
Thistledown and fallen crowns.
The pinion from a starling.
All ruby lips and lullabies, he'll tell you lies, my darling.
Every thing a secret.
Every thing a taste.
Bright eyes shining in the dark, and not a crumb to waste.
