《When We Two Parted 》
When we two parted
In silence and tears
Half broken-hearted
To serve for years
Pale grew thy cheek and cold
Colder thy kiss
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this
The dew of the morning
Suck chill or my brow
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy cows 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
Thy 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
——George Gordon Byron
