MY LADY'S WONDROUS HAIR by CHARLES LOUIS HENRY WAGNER

First Line: I SOMETIMES THINK I'M ON THE BRINK
Last Line: "SAY ""HOPE,"" SWEET LADY MINE!"
Subject(s): HAIR; LOVE; WOMEN;

I sometimes think I'm on the brink
Of old age, and its care,
But my old heart reflects youth's art
Depicted in your hair;
'Tis wondrous, Lady mine,
Yes, wondrous, Lady mine.

I fear me quite, if such delight
Were mine long to behold,
My years would fly, and soon would I
Again as youth be bold;
What wonder, Lady mine,
No wonder, Lady mine.

Some roses blown have often shown
Attraction for the bee,
My years, I trust, have not grown rust,
Perchance there's hope for me,
What say you, Lady mine,
Say "Hope," sweet Lady mine!
