Explore "Gentle Alice Brown" by Josephine Daskam Bacon on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
It was a robber's daughter, and her name was Alice Brown, / Her father was the terror of a small Italian town; / Her mother was a foolish, weak, but amiable old thing; / But it isn't of her parents that I'm going for to sing.
As Alice was a-sitting at her window-sill one day / A beautiful young gentleman he chanced to pass that way; / She cast her eyes upon him, and he looked so good and true, / That she thought, "I could be happy with a gentleman like you!"
