FRIEND AND FOE by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: SAY, WHO IS HERE? A FOE? - A FRIEND?
Last Line: HELP IN A HAND THAT CANNOT REACH.
Subject(s): ENEMIES; FRIENDSHIP; FRIENDSHIP - FALSE FRIENDS; FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS;

SAY, who is here? A foe?—A friend?—
Both. To the friend in subtle speech
The foe has whispered to extend
Help in a hand that cannot reach.
