You must be far from home; It is not right that such a mite Should be allowed to roam. 2. “What is your race and country,— It never could be guessed,— Your raven locks and Northern bloom To different climes attest?” 3. “I had a race, a long one, Across the river Seine, Ma mÈre parle le FranÇais Et elle est AmÉricaine. 4. “But I’m going to my own country, And it’s forty miles away; I’m walking very fast because I must be there to-day. 5. “My father knows the name of it, Il m’appelle BohÈme; And Victor’s going with me, For I think he is the same.” |
