Lord Byron-When we two parted

不列颠之味

When we two parted
BY George Gordon Byron
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy check and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold Sorrw 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 decieve。
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.
