First Line: I wonder what she looked like / mother sweet

Subject(s): Legends; Memory
I wonder what she looked like --
Mother sweet of mine;
If her hair was curly,
Or was it sleek and fine,
Her eyes, Oh! were they dark or grey,
Did she look like me;
It is very long
Since she held me on her knee.
Some have memories fair and fine
Of a Mother; better far
Some have likenesses maybe
There before them where they are.
A legendary Mother mine,
Yet beauteous visions can I mould;
Some day, Unknown, we'll bridge the gap
Since I was one year old.
