    When We Two Parted

    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 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 deceive.
    If I should meet thee
       After long years,
    How should I greet thee?—
       With silence and tears.
