When We Two Parted

By inin 2019-11-19 259次浏览

The poem recalls the end of a previous relationship that the narrator (or Byron himself) still feels sad and regretful about.  The relationship was secret and ever since the break-up, he has been unable to outwardly express his sadness.  Byron also feels that his lover was untrue to him and is still hurt, long after the events.

A poem like this is more for the writer than for the reader: expressing his 'grief' at the end of the relationship is an important way of coming to terms with what he feels.

 

This makes this a very cathartic poem.  Byron asks himself why he cared for his lover so much ('Why wert thou so dear?'), implying that he has a very different attitude to her now even though he is struggling to change his feelings.

By the end of the poem, When We Two Parted, Byron looks towards the future, but is unsure of what will happen, not writing what 'will' or 'shall' be but what 'should' be 'if' another meeting ever takes place. He asks a rhetorical question which the poet answers with the same words he used to describe the parting 'years' ago: 'With silence and tears'. Clearly, he feels that on their next meeting, he will still be feeling the grief of the end of their relationship.
