TO A FALSE FRIEND, by THOMAS HOOD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Our hands have met, but not our hearts Last Line: I would our hands had never met! Subject(s): Friendship - False Friends; Fair Weather Friends | ||||||||
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! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GOLDEN ODES OF PRE-ISLAMIC ARABIA: LEBID by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT HOBOKEN, 1825 by ROBERT STEVENSON COFFIN VISIONS IN VERSE: 4.
