THE BROWNIES AND THE BABY-CARRIAGES BY PALMER COX When Brownies were not in the mindOf village people, as we find,They met around a factory doorThat evidence of trouble bore,And though material was prime,All hands were idle for the one: Since first we were designedTo either please or aid mankind,We neer have heard a clearer callTo work than now within this infant now in crib or chairMust miss the aid of outdoor air,For here a great need is displayed,. Through some weak business trust betrayed,And wheels are still that here should singThe song that good demand might said: Ere sun shall rise,We 11 prove what art within us such a task as this before,We would be dull, if nothing more,If we turned not our mystic skillIn this direction with a willThat must a perfect finish lendTo every graceful spring and here your Brownie fingers give,And make a record that will here was enterprise and zealWhere one might scarce expect the deal,But look for an indifferent airDevoid of sympathy or care.
