When We Two Parted
by Lord Byron
When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever the years,
Pale grew cheek and cold,
Colder, kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.
The dew of the morning
Sunk, chill on my brow,
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
vows are all broken,
And is fame;
I hear name spoken,
And share in its shame.
They name before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o'er me...
Why wert so dear?
They know not I knew,
Who knew too well..
Long, long shall I rue,
Too deeply to tell.
In secret we met
In silence I grieve
That could forget,
spirit deceive.
If I should meet
After long years,
How should I greet ?
With silence and tears.
