When we two parted 昔日依依惜别，

In silence and tears， 泪流默默无言；

Half broken-hearted 离恨肝肠断，

To serve for years， 此别又几年。

Pale grew thy cheek and cold， 冷颊向愕然，

Colder thy kiss， 一吻寒更添；

Truly that hour foretold¹ 日后伤心事，

Sorrow to this！ 此刻已预言。

The dew of the morning 朝起寒露重，

Suck chill or my brow 凛冽凝眉间———

It felt like the warning 彼时已预告：

Of what I feel now． 悲伤在今天。

Thy cows are all broken， 山盟今安在？

And light is thy fame； 汝名何轻贱！

I hear thy name spoken， 吾闻汝名传，

And share in its shame． 羞愧在人前。

They name thee before me， 闻汝名声恶，

A knell² to mine ear； 犹如听丧钟。

A shudder³ comes o'er me 不禁心怵惕———

Why wert thou so dear？ 往昔情太浓。

Thy know not I knew thee 谁知旧日情，

who knew thee too well： 斯人知太深。

Long，Long shall I rue⁴ thee 绵绵长怀恨，

Too deeply to tell． 尽在不言中。

In secret we met— 昔日喜幽会，

In silence I grieve 今朝恨无声。

That thy heart could forget， 旧情汝已忘，

Thy spirit deceive． 痴心遇薄幸。

If I should meet thee 多年惜别后，

After long years， 抑或再相逢，

How should I greet thee ？ 相逢何所语？

With silence and tears． 泪流默无声。
