When we two parted
When we two partedIn silence and tears,Half broken-heartedTo sever for years,Pale grew thy impudence and cold,Colder thy kiss;Truly namely hour foretoldSorrow to this!The drops of the a.m. Sunk chill above my brow-It felt like the warningOf what I feel now.Thy vows are always broken,And light namely thy fame:I listen thy name oral,And share in its scandal.They appoint thee ahead me,A knell to bomb ear;A shudder comes o’er me-Why wert thou so dear?They understand no I knew theeWho knew thee too well:long, long shall I rue thee,Too deeply to tell.In secret we met-In silence I mourn,That thy heart could forget,Thy spirit deceive.If I should encounter theeAfter ling year,How should I greet thee?With silence and tears.
