Where Did The Beauty Go

[Brenpoet]

I was once so young and so fair
Not the withered old woman that you see there
My face was pink with a youthful glow
Where did the beauty go

My waist was slender, a handspan's girth
My smile was wide with girlish mirth
Hair that shone like a golden halo
Where did the beauty go

Young men would vie to win my hand
Nothing left now but a worn wedding-band
Dull are the bright eyes that captured him so
Where did the beauty go

Yes, a withered old woman before your eyes
But I have been loved by a man good and wise
My arms have been filled with loving children
The beauty now shines from within
