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