When We Two Parted
Lord George Gordon Byron
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.
想從前我們倆分手
拜倫
想從前我們倆分手,
默默無言地流著淚,
預(yù)感到多年的隔離,
我們?nèi)滩蛔⌒乃?
你的臉冰涼、發(fā)白,
你的吻更似冷冰,
呵,那一刻正預(yù)兆了
我今日的悲痛。
清早凝結(jié)著寒露,
冷徹了我的額角,
那種感覺仿佛是
對我此刻的警告。
你的誓言全破碎了,
你的行為如此輕?。?/p>
人家提起你的名字,
我聽了也感到羞辱。
他們當(dāng)著我講到你,
一聲聲有如喪鐘;
我的全身一陣顫栗——
為什么對你如此情重?
沒有人知道我熟識你,
呵,熟識得太過了——
我將長久、長久地悔恨,
這深處難以為外人道。
你我秘密地相會,
我又默默地悲傷,
你竟然把我欺騙,
你的心終于遺忘。
如果很多年以后,
我們又偶然會面,
我將要怎樣招呼你?
只有含著淚,默默無言。
1808年
