WHEN WE TWO PARTED (1813)
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 name
They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shrudder comes o'er me,
Why were thou so dear?,
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee so well
Long long I shall 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 met thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee,
With silence and tears
-Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)
