CHARADE
1876
Parted! Alas, it brings my first to mind;
My second doubles every tear that's shed;
My whole why task your laboring brain to find
Since being what it is 'twere best unsaid.
My second doubles every tear that's shed;
My whole why task your laboring brain to find
Since being what it is 'twere best unsaid.
Parted the rip brings needles to my mind;
S makes tear tears, so doubles each that's shed;
Needless, my whole, why task your brain to find
Since, being needless, it were best unsaid?
S makes tear tears, so doubles each that's shed;
Needless, my whole, why task your brain to find
Since, being needless, it were best unsaid?
