First Line: You gave me your hand
Last Line: That I had been blind!
Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John
Subject(s): Disillusion
You gave me your hand,
I held it to be
The last word, the dear word,
The soul's entity;
I cherished it, treasured it,
Only to find
I held but a gauntlet—
That I had been blind!
