To a false friend

(Tomas Moore)

Our hands have met,

But not our hearts.

Our hands will never meet again.

Friends! If we have ever been!

Friends! We can not now remain.

But I only know I loved you once,

But I only know I loved in vain…

Our hands have met,

But not our hearts.

Our hands will never meet again.
