Snowy Strands Among the Jet. 
Youth has gone forever, my darling, With its brilliant sparkling zest; And the day is fast approaching When our dearest joy is rest. We have tasted many pleasures, And their fragrance lingers yet, But I mark amid your tresses Snowy strands among the jet. 
Chorus. You have worn when life was brightest, Roses in your dark hair set; Wear with equal grace, my darling. Snowy strands among the jet. You have worn when life was brightest, Roses in your dark hair set; Wear with equal grace, my darling, Snowy strands among the jet. 
We have lived and life was pleasant, We have laughed, our mirth was gay; We have sung and danced and flirted As our youth fled fast away. But the dance must end, my darling. Let it pass without regret; Time has placed his hand upon us. Snowy strands among the jet.-Chorus. 
Let us not for joys departed Grieve our souls with mournful thought-Truer pleasures are before us, If with patient faith they're sought. Let us win a happy future, Nor for past enjoyment fret; Let us wear a crown of honor, Snowy strands among the jet.-Chorus.
