Bio: 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. close
