StNicholas [serial] . GUARDING THE MILK-CANS. With care they guarded well their store,They picked their steps and peeked before;But since the Brownies foot was madeLike mans, it has a slippery shadeAnd is inclined to trip and stray WORK FOR THE BROWNIE POLICE. No need for midnight walk, nor bawl,For gentle sleep blessed every bedAnd gave to growth its proper spread,While even creatures understoodThe nourishment was pure and good.
