Essential Byron: Part 1.
Richard Coyle reading “When We Two Parted” at 5:30

When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow—
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame:
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o’er me—
Why wert thou so dear
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well:
Long, long shall I rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met—
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.

 

Essential Byron: Part 2.
Richard Coyle reading “Endorsement To The Deed Of Separation” at 8:50

A year ago, you swore, fond she!
‘To love, to honour,’ and so forth:
Such was the vow you pledged to me,
And here’s exactly what ’tis worth.

 

Essential Byron: Part 3.
Richard Coyle reading “Thoughts On Freedom” at 6:25

They only can feel freedom truly
Who have worn long chains
The healthy feel not health
In all its glow in all its glory of full veins
And flushing cheeks and bounding pulses

Til they have known the interregnum of some malady

That links them to their beds
In some white common feverish hospital
Where all are tended and none cared for
Left to public nurses
Paid for pity
Till they die or go forth cured
But without kindness
