To my Brother.
'Come back to me, Drolher,
Dear Brother, coma coon;
Bring sunshine for shadow,
Turn night into noon.
Oh ! tarry not longer
But hntito to my side,
Be my comforter ever,
My joy nnd my prhle.
Come, denreat, and shield mo ;
The storms, dark and drear,
Beat over my head?
Fill my weak henrt with fear.
I need thy dear presence,
. To make me forget
., The sorrows which fill.
My hcurt with regret.
Then come to me Brother,
Let me cling to thy arm }
Let, thy gentlo voice ever
The dark spirits charm.
Oh ! give ??little Hia'tcr"
A place warm and deep
In your loving heart, Brother,
She always muy keep.
So shielded and sheltered
In your love true and strong,
The shadows will vanish,
Tho soul wnkc to song ;
So the sunshine of Hope
' Shall beam on her way,
And the darkness of night
End in beautiful day.
?SALLIE."
