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
with silence and tears.

Explanation:

In Lord Byron's Poem "When We Two Parted", the speaker is describing the way he feels after a breakup. Since other people don't know about this previous relationship, they mention his loved one's name, and that causes the speaker great pain. His tone is sad; he employs words that indicate he laments having lost that other person, such as "rue", "grieve", "silence", and "tears". He believes he woudn't even be able to greet the other person without crying if they were to meet again someday.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

“way of writing” should be replaced with “writing style"

“idea” should be replaced with “purpose.”

maybe   “people from a long time ago” should be replaced with “elizabethans.”
