b"Byron read by Classic Poetry Aloud:http://classicpoetryaloud.podomatic.com/\\n\\nGiving voice to the poetry of the past.\\n \\n---------------------------------------------------\\n \\n When We Two Parted\\n by Lord Byron\\n \\nWhen we two parted\\nIn silence and tears,\\nHalf broken-hearted \\nTo sever for years, \\nPale grew thy cheek and cold,\\nColder thy kiss; \\nTruly that hour foretold \\nSorrow to this. \\n\\nThe dew of the morning \\nSunk chill on my brow\\u2014 \\nIt felt like the warning \\nOf what I feel now. \\nThy vows are all broken, \\nAnd light is thy fame: \\nI hear thy name spoken, \\nAnd share in its shame. \\n\\nThey name thee before me, \\nA knell to mine ear; \\nA shudder comes o'er me\\u2014 \\nWhy wert thou so dear? \\nThey know not I knew thee, \\nWho knew thee too well: \\nLong, long shall I rue thee, \\nToo deeply to tell. \\n\\nIn secret we met\\u2014 \\nIn silence I grieve, \\nThat thy heart could forget, \\nThy spirit deceive. \\nIf I should meet thee \\nAfter long years, \\nHow should I greet thee? \\nWith silence and tears.\\n \\n First aired 28 July 2007 on Classic Poetry Aloud \\n\\n\\n\\nFor hundreds more poetry readings, visit the Classic Poetry Aloud index.\\n\\nTo be notified of new postings, and to receive some extra, short text about each poetry reading, join the mailing list.\\n\\nReading \\xa9 Classic Poetry Aloud 2008"
