It is Byron's When we two parted, the original poem:
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< /p>
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,
< p>That thy heart could forget,Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After ling year,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.
When we parted, there was only silence and tears.
My heart Almost broken,
How many years have to be separated!
Your face is white and cold,
Your kiss is even colder;
Indeed, that time
Foreshadowed Sadness today!
The dewdrops falling in the morning
immersed into my brow, so cold——
How I feel today
It seems to be an advance warning .
You have betrayed all your oaths,
Your reputation is frivolous and dissolute;
When others talk about you,
Even I am ashamed Difficult.
They talked about you in front of me,
It was like a death knell ringing in my ears;
I couldn’t stop trembling all over -
Why do I have such a long love for you?
They don’t know that I’m familiar with you——
I’m afraid I’m overly familiar with you!
I will miss you for a long time,
too deep to express.
Thinking of the secret agreement in Youqi;
To this day, I silently lament:
Your heart will forget,
Your soul will cheat.
If after many years,
I meet you by chance,
What will I do to welcome you?
Only silence and tears.
