FRATERNITY.
I KNOW not but in every leafThat sprang to life along with me,Were written all the joy and griefThenceforth my fate to be.
The wind that whispered to the earth,The bird that sang its earliest lay,The flower that blossomed at my birth, —My kinsmen all were they.
Ay, but for fellowship with theseI had not been — nay, might not be;Nor they but vagrant melodiesTill harmonized to me.
