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 year,

How should I greet thee?

With silence and tears.

译文：

昔日依依别，

泪流默无言；

离恨肝肠断，

此别又几年。

冷颊何惨然，

一吻寒更添；

日后伤心事，

此刻已预言。

朝起寒露重，

凛冽凝眉间－－

彼时已预告：

悲伤在今天。

山盟今安在？

汝名何轻贱！

吾闻汝名传，

羞愧在人前。

闻汝名声恶，

犹如听丧钟。

不禁心怵惕－－

往昔情太浓。

谁知旧日情，

斯人知太深。

绵绵长怀恨，

尽在不言中。

昔日喜幽会，

今朝恨无声。

旧情汝已忘，

疾心遇薄幸。

多年离别后，

抑或再相逢，

相逢何所语？

泪流默无声。
