Brotherhood
Is brotherhood to flesh confined? Is there no kinship of the soul? To have it thus, I am resigned, If 'tis my God-appointed goal; For there are those whom I hold dear, Who claim with me a common sire, That we, with one accord, revere, And love holds out midst flood and fire. But is the family so small Of which I fondly claim a part? Is there no other I may call A brother, and within my heart Cherish for him, whate'er his name, Or rank, or color, or his creed, A love of pure and changeless flame, And feel I render but his meed? Thank God for brotherhood so broad That all the human race may share A kinship, never yet outlawed, Tho' types of it have been too rare. But bigotry is doomed to die, And hate, a relic of the past; The golden age is drawing nigh, And all one family at last!
