THE BROWNIES IN FRANCE.

That they had found at length a chance
To see the famous works of France,
The sculptures and the paintings grand
That told of many a master hand.
The Brownies halted one and all
Before the graceful column tall
That towered many feet in air
And ornamented well its square;
On every side of it they stood
And moralized, as well they could,
About the shouting populace
That had run riot round its base.
Through streets they went smooth as a floor, | :
And in the Seine they dipped an oar; j +
Then to old palaces they ran Hl
At least their
