QUOTE : I saw her in a Broadway car,<br />The woman I might grow to be;<br />I felt my lover look at her<br />And then turn suddenly to me.<br /><br />Her hair was dull and drew no light<br />And yet its color was as mine;<br />Her eyes were strangely like my eyes <br />Tho' love had never made them shine.<br /><br />Her body was a thing grown thin,<br />Hungry for love that never came;<br />Her soul was frozen in the dark<br />Unwarmed forever by love's flame.<br /><br />I felt my lover look at her<br />and then turn suddenly to me,–<br />His eyes were magic to defy<br />The woman I shall never be.
