'When we Two Parted' is written by George Byron. Lord Byron was an English poet and a leading figure in Romanticism. His famous poems are 'She Walks in Beauty' and 'When we Two Parted'.
This poem is about love. First and later the hate a man feels towards who was his beloved because she left him. It's a very typical Romantic poem and issue of Romanticism.
The poem is divided into four stanzas each with eight lines.
This poem is about the end of a love story between a man and a woman. After the whole poem is an expression of feelings of hate from the man towards the woman because she left him. It is believed that only an extreme emotion can lead to another opposite extreme emotion.
In the first stanza the poet starts with the negative emotions by using the word 'Parted' in the very first line. He is feeling the pain of separation. But in the extreme sorrow atmosphere he does not forget to respect his love by being silent in spite of tears. The word 'tears' clarify it was a painful loss. They live in tears. This suggest love from the side of the poet at its best.
Moving to the second stanza he goes down the memory of love and starts thinking of what they used to do when they meet together. He now repent their being together. Where in all her promise turned out to he false and in his extreme pain and feeling shameful because his name is attached with her.
The third stanza further consider the suffering because of separation as he feels as if her name one resounded the funeral bell and regrets his loving so much. He is discourage because of the fact that what is done with him by her.
The last stanza poet describes himself how he should met her again after all these years. Which is very improbable. At the end he does not the lose hope of meeting her again but that meeting would be all in silence and tears would substitute the words and his emotions.
