FOUR CHARADES: 1, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: My first is no proof of my second
Last Line: You show yourself clearly my whole.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Riddles; Faith


My first is no proof of my second,
Though my second's a proof of my first:
If I were my whole I should tell you
Quite freely my best and my worst.

One clue more: if you fail to discover
My meaning, you're blind as a mole;
But if you will frankly confess it,
You show yourself clearly my whole.
