A Strange Experience.

Josephine Pollard.

They took the little London girl from out the city street

To where the grass was growing green, the birds were singing sweet;

And everything along the road so filled her with surprise,

The look of wonder fixed itself within her violet eyes.

The breezes ran to welcome her; they kissed her on each cheek,

And tried in every way they could their ecstasy to speak,

Inviting her to romp with them, and tumbling up her curls,
