92 THE GOLDEN TREASURY OF |

DR. R. R. MADDEN THE UNITED BROTHERS
Henry and John Sheares
THE brothers in love are united in death, And they sealed with their blood that alliance; The ties of one cause, of one kindred, and faith, And affliction, bid despots defiance. They joined, heart and hand, in one struggle, and gave Their young blood to maintain it; while others, Who urged on the strife, soon abandoned the brave, But they—stood by their country like brothers !
When Freedom, by treachery foully betrayed,
Found the friends fall away who had plighted Their faith to her cause, still one spirit prevailed
In the hearts of the brothers united — They clung to that cause in the midst of despair,
When the tempest had terrified others; And, like comrades in danger, endeared, as they were,
They went down with the wreck like true brothers !
