¶Lyrics / Text

: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.
