We might have been! — these are but common words,
And yet they make the sum of life's bewailing.


Ethel Churchill, or, The Two Brides (1837)


We might have been! — these are but common words, And yet they make the sum of life's bewailing.

We might have been! — these are but common words, And yet they make the sum of life's bewailing.

We might have been! — these are but common words, And yet they make the sum of life's bewailing.

We might have been! — these are but common words, And yet they make the sum of life's bewailing.
