BRAVO, PARIS EXPOSITION!


ADD to your show, before you close it, France,
With all the rest, visible, concrete, temples, towers, goods, ma-
         chines and ores,
Our sentiment wafted from many million heart-throbs, ethereal
         but solid,
(We grand-sons and great-grand-sons do not forget your grand-
         sires,)
From fifty Nations and nebulous Nations, compacted, sent over-
         sea to-day,
America's applause, love, memories and good-will.
