Whem we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted.
To se ver for yours
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truely that hour foretold
Sorrow to this
The dew of the morning
Sunk hill on my brow;
I felt like thw warning
Of what I feel new.
The vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame
I hear thy name spoken
And share in its shame.
Thy 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 know thee too will.
Long,long,shall I rue the
Too deeply to tell.
In secret we met;
Im silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget.
Thy spirit deceive
If I should meet thee
After long years.
How would I greet thee?-
With silence and tears.
