- 1ever（曾經、無論何時）的詩語縮寫
E'er is a written of ever, the same kind of cut as o'er from over. Poets used it to save a beat in the line: if e'er you see me. It means at any time, or always, just as ever does. For e'er is for ever. You will not hear it in normal talk; it lives in songs, hymns, and older verse. People say it like “air.” It feels old-fashioned on purpose — a costume word, not a mistake, and not a different meaning. Though actually, once you see the as “a letter took a nap,” a lot of old poetry becomes less mysterious.
e'er 是 ever 的詩語縮寫，撇號代表被省掉的字母，和 over 縮成 o'er 是同一類縮法。詩人用它來省掉詩行裡的一個音節，例如「if e'er you see me」。它的意思和 ever 一樣，是任何時候或永遠。日常說話幾乎聽不到，主要出現在歌曲、聖詩和老詩裡。它的古雅感是刻意的，像一個戲服式的字，不是打錯，也不是另一個意思。只要把撇號想成一個字母去睡覺了，很多舊詩就會比較好懂。
組成Contraction of ever, similar to o'er from over.
