The Brothers
BY ARTHUR EUGENE SMITH

The Cornish hills look on the sea:
The coast, on vine-wreathed bow'rs
Ihat hide our home where glad and free
We passed our youthful hours.
My brother had a violin;
An olden flute had
With which we often welcomed In
The nights with minstrelsy."
The housewife gave us OF her bread
And patched our garments or.
And many times we made our bed
Upon the hayrick'e loft;
And TO inspire US Summer filled
The fields with how'rs galore:
In mimicry the mavis trilled
From bending sycamorei"
Sweet Inspiration was our guide:
Our lamp. the Evening Star
Until they tore him from my side,
And took him to the war
Upon the field he. wounded lay.
Then died as soldier brave:
I would that ! my flute might play
Above his lonely gravel"
The mountain roads more I'll wend;
The village streets I'll shun
For o., I mourn my bosom friend.-
The dear Inspired onel
No more Ger Musics page I'll pore
For fearful is my eye;
And in my flute III breathe no more
But sadly lay It by!'
