Poems about Siblings

Poems about Siblings

Here you’ll find four poems about basic mutual trust, the ambivalence of sibling love, disappointing kinship, and cohesion among brothers and sisters.

Poems of this type make especially good gifts. For example, if you’re short on cash and need to save money, but still want to show appreciation to your sibling, a poem is a good option.

One Sister have I in our house

One Sister have I in our house –
And one a hedge away.
There’s only one recorded,
But both belong to me.

One came the way that I came –
And wore my past year’s gown –
The other as a bird her nest,
Builded our hearts among.

She did not sing as we did –
It was a different tune –
Herself to her a Music
As Bumble-bee of June.

Today is far from Childhood –
But up and down the hills
I held her hand the tighter –
Which shortened all the miles –

And still her hum
The years among,
Deceives the Butterfly;
Still in her Eye
The Violets lie
Mouldered this many May.

I spilt the dew –
But took the morn, –
I chose this single star
From out the wide night’s numbers –
Sue – forevermore!

(Emily Dickinson, American poet, 1830-1886)

Siblings are the friends we’re born with

Siblings are the friends we’re born with,
From the same parents, we share a kinship.
Through fights and tears, we learn to forgive,
And support each other as we live.

Growing up together, we create memories,
Of silly games, and sibling rivalries.
But in times of need, we stand as one,
For family ties can’t be undone.

Our bond grows stronger with each passing year,
As we face life’s challenges without fear.
With love and laughter, we make our way,
Forever grateful for our siblings every day.

Brother and sister

Poem about sister and brother

Brothers and sisters, side by side,
From childhood days until we’ve died.
Bonds so strong, they can’t be broken,
Memories shared, they remain unspoken.

Through thick and thin, we stand together,
Through stormy weather and sunny weather.
With love and loyalty, we unite,
In each other’s company, we find delight.

(Unknown)

We Are Seven

——–A Simple Child,
That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death?

I met a little cottage Girl:
She was eight years old, she said;
Her hair was thick with many a curl
That clustered round her head.

She had a rustic, woodland air,
And she was wildly clad:
Her eyes were fair, and very fair;
–Her beauty made me glad.

"Sisters and brothers, little Maid,
How many may you be?"
"How many? Seven in all," she said
And wondering looked at me.

"And where are they? I pray you tell."
She answered, "Seven are we;
And two of us at Conway dwell,
And two are gone to sea.

"Two of us in the church-yard lie,
My sister and my brother;
And, in the church-yard cottage, I
Dwell near them with my mother."

"You say that two at Conway dwell,
And two are gone to sea,
Yet ye are seven!–I pray you tell,
Sweet Maid, how this may be."

Then did the little Maid reply,
"Seven boys and girls are we;
Two of us in the church-yard lie,
Beneath the church-yard tree."

"You run about, my little Maid,
Your limbs they are alive;
If two are in the church-yard laid,
Then ye are only five."

"Their graves are green, they may be seen,"
The little Maid replied,
"Twelve steps or more from my mother’s door,
And they are side by side.

"My stockings there I often knit,
My kerchief there I hem;
And there upon the ground I sit,
And sing a song to them.

"And often after sunset, Sir,
When it is light and fair,
I take my little porringer,
And eat my supper there.

"The first that died was sister Jane;
In bed she moaning lay,
Till God released her of her pain;
And then she went away.

"So in the church-yard she was laid;
And, when the grass was dry,
Together round her grave we played,
My brother John and I.

"And when the ground was white with snow,
And I could run and slide,
My brother John was forced to go,
And he lies by her side."

"How many are you, then," said I,
"If they two are in heaven?"
Quick was the little Maid’s reply,
"O Master! we are seven."

"But they are dead; those two are dead!
Their spirits are in heaven!"
'Twas throwing words away; for still
The little Maid would have her will,
And said, "Nay, we are seven!"

(William Wordsworth, English poet, 1770-1850)
