THE SISTER'S FAREWELL.
Brother, good bye,—your choice is made,
On the great Sea to dwell,
Where mighty ships majestic ride,
And foaming billows swell,
Good bye, beneath the spreading shade
Of our old favorite tree
In places where our childhood play'd
You will remember'd be.
The hearth-stone of our pleasant home
Must lone, and alter'd seem,
And I shall listen to your voice
Even in my sweetest dream.
