IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.


1t might have been! When life Is young
And hopes are bright, and hearts are strong
TO battle with the htartless throng,
when youth and age are far between,
who hears the words SO sadly sung?
1t might have been!
1t might have been When life Is fair,
Youth stands beside the buundluss sea
That ebbs ana flows increasingly,
And dreams OF name and golden fame;
And who shall limit the To he
That's dawning thcrc9
1t might have been. when lie Is bright,
And love Is In It's golden prime,
Youth recks not OF the coming night,
Nor dreams that there may be a timc
Nh3n love viii fail, or change or die
Eternarly!
1t might have been when time grows gray,
And spring-tlde's hopes have passed away,
Old age looks back on by.sonc years
Their many doubts and wants aud fears;
And through the mist away Is seen,
The might-have been!
It might have beenl when age so sad,
Weary of waiting for the fame
That, afscr all, is but name.
When life has lost the name It had,
True knowledge makes regret more keen
It might have been !
It might have becnl when youth Is dead,
And love that was so fa'se IS He'd,
When all the mockerCs Of the past
Iiavc lost their tinsel rags at last,
The one true love is clearly seen
That might have beenl
1t might have beenl All me All me

OF Knowing all that life has lost?
By thinking OF the countless cost
Poor comfort can the sad heart glCan

Believing what has been IS best,
The life whose sun has not yet set
Can ilnd no room Tor vain regret,
And only crowns Its queen
