One Sister have I in our house

 One Sister have I in our house,
And one, a hedge away.

There's only one recorded,
But both belong to me.


One came the road that I came --
And wore my last year's gown --
The other, as a bird her nest,
Builded our hearts among.


She did not sing as we did --
It was a different tune --
Herself to her a music
As Bumble bee of June.


Today is far from Childhood --
But up and down the hills
I held her hand the tighter --
Which shortened all the miles --

And still her hum
The years among,
Deceives the Butterfly;
Still in her Eye
The Violets lie
Mouldered this many May.


I spilt the dew --
But took the morn --
I chose this single star
From out the wide night's numbers --
Sue - forevermore!
