IittIe Brother.

Little brother, morning leadeth
To another field OF life
Take the trumpet and the sabeF,
Face with JOY the burning strife.
To the battle altogether
TIL all efforts joined i'm one.
Turns the ramparts OF foul weather
Into temples of the SUM
Little brother, have you suffered?
Little brother, wipe your tears
In the comradeship OF purpose
We shall triumph over fears
Down the rough road swinging gayly.
Like the laughing stream that flows.
We shall turn the rocks beneath us
To a carpet OF the rose.
Little brother, love shall triumph
When In manhood men unite
For simple life OF service
In the holy cause OF right.
Wrong Is shielded by a shadow
But the sword OF song Is ours.
And It's victory Is the valleys
Burning bright with leagues OF flowers
Baltimore sun.
