SAREE

THE BROWNIES IN
SWITZERLAND.

THIRTEENTH STAGE.

 

N Switzerland the mountains high,
That seemed to blend the earth and sky,

Delighted all the Brownie band ;

And oft they tried, with foot and hand,

To scale the rugged cliffs around

Until the highest peak was found.

It mattered not that ice and snow

Made travel dangerous and slow. .
Said one: “ Where’er the foot of man
Has found a rest, a Brownie’s can.
I know the way that men set out,
With pointed staffs to prod about
And ‘feel their way when storms arise
That almost blind their straining eyes.
We ’ll do the Same, and ropes we ’ll take
To tie ourselves for safety’s sake,

my) So should one fall, as fall he may,

we bay Yor The others can his tumble stay.”
