Might Have Been.
A waft of roses in the street, A whiff of mignonette, An eyelash tangled in a veil, The sparkkng gleam of jet ; A hint of laughter in an eye, A dimple in a chin, A wind-swept gown, two twinkling feet. And this is Might Have Been ' She heeds me not, she passes by, SedJately on she goes. She crushes me beneath her feet As lightly as a rose, And yet I love her cruelly Despite her constant "No," For she is always Might Have Been And I am So-and-So. Oh, girl of mine, sweet girl of mine Turn round your pretty head, And smile upon me once again As in the dans long dead ; Untie those lashes from your veil, Uplift them unto me Reveal the soul that stars your eye And "Might Have Been" will "Be" !
