How should I greet thee?—
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
Who knew thee too well—
Colder thy kiss;
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Sunk chill on my brow—
If I should meet thee
I hear thy name spoken,
The dew of the morning
And share in its shame.
After long years,
It felt like the warning
A shudder comes o'er me—
Why wert thou so dear?
Thy vows are all broken,
In secret we met—
A knell to mine ear;
Half broken-hearted
In silence I grieve,
With silence and tears.
In silence and tears,
Long, long shall I rue thee,
When we two parted
To sever for years,
Sorrow to this.
Too deeply to tell.
And light is thy fame;
Of what I feel now.
They know not I knew thee,
Truly that hour foretold
They name thee before me,
