Those locks of jet are turned to gray, And she is strange and far away That might have been mine own to-day - That might have been mine own, my dear, Through many and many a happy year - That might have sat beside me here. (Lewis Carroll)

Those locks of jet are turned to gray, And she is strange and far away That might have been mine own to-day - That might have been mine own, my dear, Through many and many a happy year - That might have sat beside me here.
