I.
Sister! I will go with Thee;How can I not go with Thee?
What am I for, but to share
Thought, and joy, and woe with Thee?
I have known the unstainèd peace
Children only know—with Thee;
I have watched the chequered blooms
Of my fortune blow—with Thee;
I must part the scanty hope
Our low fates bestow—with Thee;
Wish I with the great to live,
With the wealthy? No! with Thee;
Nature's hand has mated us,—
Who but I can go with Thee?
