The Woman's Game.

Was there ever game we did not
share,
Brother of mine?
Or day when | did not play you fair.
Brother of mine?
LAS good as boy you used to say,
And l was as eager for the fray.
And as loath to cheat or to run away,
Brother of mine!
You are playing the game that is
straight and true,
Brother of mine.
And I'd give my soul to stand next TO
You,
Brother of mine.
The spirit, indeed, is still the same;
should not shrink from the battles
flame,
Yet here ! stay-at the woman's game.
Brother of mine.
If the last price must needs be paid,
Brother of mine,
You will so forward, unafraid.
Brother of mine.
Death can so small part destroy,
You will have known the fuller joy
All, would that l had been born a boy,
Brother Of mine.
