When we two parted

当初我们俩分别，

In silence and tears,

只有沉默和眼泪，

Half broken-hearted

心儿几乎要碎裂，

To sever for years,

得分隔多少年岁!

Pale grew thy cheek and cold,

你的脸发白发冷，

Colder thy kiss;

你的吻更是冰凉;

Truly that hour foretold

确实呵，那个时辰

Sorrow to this!

预告了今日的悲伤!

The dew of the morning

清晨滴落的露珠

Sunk chill on my brow—

浸入我眉头，好冷——

It felt like the warning

对我今天的感触

Of what I feel now.

仿佛是预先示警。

Thy vows are all broken,

你把盟誓都背弃，

And light is thy fame;

名声也轻浮浪荡;

I hear thy name spoken,

听别人把你说起，

And share in its shame.

连我也羞愧难当。

They name thee before me,

他们当着我说你，

A knell to mine ear;

像丧钟响彻耳旁;

A shudder comes o’er me—

我周身止不住战栗——

Why wert thou so dear?

对你怎这样情长?

They know not I knew thee,

他们不知我熟悉你——

Who knew thee too well:—

只怕是熟悉过度;

Long, long shall I rue thee,

我会久久惋惜你，

Too deeply to tell.

深切得难以陈诉。

In secret we met—

想当初幽期密约，

In silence I grieve,

到如今默默哀怨：

That thy heart could forget,

你的心儿会忘却，

Thy spirit deceive.

你的灵魂会欺骗。

If I should meet thee

要是多少年以后，

After long years,

我偶然与你相会，

How should I greet thee?—

用什么将你迎候?

With silence and tears.

只有沉默和眼泪。
