When we two parted
英语课
When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever 1 for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold 2
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 3 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 4 to mine ear;
A shudder 5 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 6 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 ling year,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.
