When We Two Parted by Lord Byron. Tchakovosky - Symphony No.5 - 2nd Movement (excerpt).

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
