The Sister's Appeal - A Fragment

Title:     The Sister's Appeal - A Fragment
Author: George Pope Morris [More Titles by Morris]

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.
