Part 2 — THE TEST
Reading edition
I held her hand, the pledge of bliss, Her hand that trembled and withdrew; She bent her head before my kiss... My heart was sure that hers was true. Now I have told her I must part, She shakes my hand, she bids adieu, Nor shuns the kiss. Alas, my heart! Hers never was the heart for you.
Walter Savage Landor [1775-1864]
