When we two parted In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted To sever for years,
Truly that hour foretold Sorrow to this.
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?
Too deeply to tell.
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.
