Bringing back a classic..

[pacodem]

So back in the day we used to have Poetry Mondays. Anybody remember those? Well I think we should bring them back only we are going to have them on Wednesdays now. So without further adieu I give you POETRY WEDNESDAYS or POETRY HUMPDAY *LOL* The rules are simple, if you use someone else's work quote it. If it is your work let us know.

When we Two parted
By Lord 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.
