"When We Two Parted"
Written by George Gordon Byron
When we two parted
In silence and tears
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years
Pale grew thy cheek and cold Colder thy 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
Thy vows are all broken
And light is thy fame;
I hear thy name spoken
And share in its shame
They name thee before me
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o'er me--
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee
Who knew thee too well--
Long, long shall I rue thee
Too deeply to tell
In secret we met--
In silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget
Thy spirit deceive
If I should meet thee
After long years
How should I greet thee?--
With silence and tears.
