昔日與君別

拜倫

When We Two Parted

by George Gordon, Lord Byron

昔日與君別

默默淚不干

肝腸半破碎

此別至何年

蒼頰日以冷

君吻寒更添

日後傷心事

此刻都預言

清晨有寒露

冽冽襲眉間

如聞警鐘預

傷我在今天

山盟既不在

子名何輕賤

聞人呼汝字

愧意在人前

有人毀君譽

若聞哀音傳

戰慄不可止

舊情一線牽

誰解我知汝

流水出高山

悔與長相知

深深不能言

昔日幽會地

此時何寂然

君心既可忘

還忍相欺瞞

若有見面時

何必別經年

相逢何所語

默默淚不干

When we two parted

by George Gordon, Lord Byron

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.
