GOLDEN LOCKS OF BROWN.
A little lass with golden hair, A little lais with brown, A little last with raven looki, Went tripping into town. " I like the golden hair the belt I " " And I prefer the brown," " And I the Waok I " three sparrows said— Three sparrow! of the town. " Tu-whit I Td«whdo J " an old owl orled, From tbe belfry in the town ; " Glad-hearted lasses need not mind If lock* be gold, black, brown 1 "Tu-whlfcl Tu-whoo I So fast, ao fast, The sands of life run down ; And soon, so soon, three white-haired dameß Will totter through the town. " Gone then for aye the raven looks, The golden hair, the brown ; And she will faireit be whose face Has never worn a frown I " —From Springtide.
