Subject(s): Brothers; Family Life; Half-brothers; Relatives


Beyond a mountain trail
Away from other folks,
I built myself a home
Under seven oaks.

The trees were tall and strong,
I hailed them as my kin,
They watched my home without,
I slept within.

When storms beat round my house
And set their torrents free,
My seven oaks would shout
And sing with me.

When quiet evening falls
And shadows dot the hill,
My seven brothers stand
Silent and still.

No other kin I need—
My home and seven trees,
I ask no more of God
Than health, and these.
