When We Two Parted

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 so well Long, long I shall 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

Lệ tuôn rơi lặng lẽ

Nửa con tim tan vỡ

Chia xa đến vạn năm

Tái nhợt đôi má hồng

Nụ hôn em lạnh lẽo

Sự thật này báo trước

Nỗi đau chẳng từ ai

Sương lạnh buổi sáng mai

Thấm lạnh bờ mi cay

Phải chăng điềm cảnh báo

Làm tim anh run sợ

Lời thề em quên mất

Để chạy theo danh vọng

Anh nhắc tên em yêu

Mà nghe thẹn thùng thế

Như tiếng chuông bên tai Làm run rẩy lòng anh

Vì sao lại là em?

Họ không biết một điều Anh biết em nhiều vậy Mãi hoài anh tiếc nuối Sâu lắng chẳng nên lời

Âm thầm ta gặp gỡ Anh lặng lẽ buồn đau Tim em vô tình quá Hồn em sao gian dối Nếu anh gặp lại em Sau chừng ấy năm dài Anh chào em thế nào?

Lặng im lệ sầu rơi.

Byron's mother Catherine had to sell her land and title to pay her husband's debts John Byron may have married Catherine for her money and, after squandering her

wife and child in order to avoid creditors, he deserted them both and

died a year later Catherine regularly experienced mood swings and

bouts of melancholy
