Rondeau. - Brother And Friend.
Brother and friend I found thee in the hour Of need and day of trouble, strong and true. - In June's fair mirth, and when the sunrise hue Shewed bright where joy had built his thoughtless bower, Thou wert a child to sport with, something lower Than a friend's need. I gave, methought, thy due, - An elder sister's gentleness, nor knew That ere Spring dawned my soul would feel thy power. Brother and Friend! A man, with a man's strength, and will, and fire, I know thee, my Alcides; thus a god For some fair soul to reverence, and desire To own and worship. I can place thee higher To-day, in naming thee, - pain's paths just trod - Brother and Friend.
