SISTER AND 1.

 

  

Xe In a cottage beside the old mill,
Sister and 1.
To the school-house we plodded together ;:
We stayed not for wind nor for weather,
Sister and I.

In summer we romped in the clover,

And went nutting when summer was over,
Sister and I;

I remember our wooden horse, Jack,

And how we both climbed on his back,
Sister and I.

We now are grown older and stronger ;
We live by the hill-side no longer,

Sister and 16
But our friendship no distance can sever,

We have loved, and will love on forever,
Sister and I.
