Love Between Brothers and Sisters.

Whatever brawls disturb the street,
There should be peace at home:
Where sisters dwell and brothers meet,
Quarrels should never come.


Birds in their little nests agree;
And 'tis a shameful sight,
When children of one family
Fall out and chide and fight.

Isaac Watts.
