To A False Friend.

    By Thomas Hood



    Our hands have met, but not our hearts;
    Our hands will never meet again.
    Friends, if we have ever been,
    Friends we cannot now remain:
    I only know I loved you once,
    I only know I loved in vain;
    Our hands have met, but not our hearts;
    Our hands will never meet again!

    Then farewell to heart and hand!
    I would our hands had never met:
    Even the outward form of love
    Must be resign'd with some regret.
    Friends, we still might seem to be,
    If I my wrong could e'er forget;
    Our hands have join'd but not our hearts:
    I would our hands had never met!
