Short lyrics ( love, nature, political aspiration) Byronic Hero A proud, mysterious rebel figure of noble origin, with fiery passions and unbending will, expresses Byron’s own ideal of freedom. He rises against tyranny and injustice, but he’s merely a lone fighter striving for personal freedom. This figure, to some extent, modeled on the life and personality of Byron himself, and makes Byron famous both at home and abroad. Don Juan When We Two Parted 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. 昔日依依别 昔日依依别， 泪流默无言, 离恨肝肠断， 此别又几年。 冷颊向愕然， 一吻寒更添； 日后伤心事， 此刻已预言。  Stanza 2 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. 朝起寒露重， 凛冽凝眉间— 彼时已预告： 悲伤在今天。 山盟今安在？ 汝名何轻贱！ 吾闻汝名
