The Sister's Appeal. A Fragment.

Topics: classic

You remember--don't you, brother--             In our early years,     The counsels of our poor, dear mother,             And her hopes and fears?     She told us to love one another--         Brother, dry your tears!     We are only two, dear brother,             In his babel wide!     In the churchyard sleeps poor mother,             By our father's side!--     Then let us cherish one another             Till in death we bide.
