这首诗讲述的是拜伦没有结婚之前和一个已婚女人的不伦恋。他们深爱对方,但是彼此都知道,这段感情必须结束,最后以她的离开为这段感情画下了终结。有时听上去,好像她刚分手,而有时又像是她离世了。这是一首很典型的浪漫主义文学诗歌,在19世纪的欧洲风靡一时。

Whenwetwoparted
昔日依依别,
Insilenceandtears,
泪流默无言;
Halfbroken-hearted
离恨肝肠断,
Toseverforyears,
此别又几年。
Palegrewthycheekandcold,
冷颊何惨然,
Colder, thykiss;
一吻寒更添;
Trulythathourforetold
日后伤心事,
Sorrowtothis.
此刻已预言。
