---- 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.
