Love Poems for Sister
Sisters are the joy of the family. Younger sisters always worship you as a guide while the older sisters make you understand how to deal with other people, especially the opposite sex. In a word, sisters are one of the greatest treasures of our life. Many great poets have tried their hands on this genre of sister's poems. Given below are some instances of love verses for sister.
"She did not sing as we did,
It was a different tune-
Herself to her a music
As bumble bee of June."
This extract is taken from Emily Dickenson's One Sister have I In Our House. Emily Dickenson had a sister named Cassandra. The poetess is saying that Cassandra is so small that she cannot even sing, even though she tries to imitate her in an unusual tone. She also feels that her childish tone is no less than a sweet music. This poem is a clear indication of how much the poetess used to love her little sister.
Carl Sandburg has portrayed his pain when his sister left his house for a wild man in Curse of a Rich Polish Peasant. In this poem, a brother has poured out all his feelings, when her sister has left him and his father for a wild man only for money. The poet has expressed how she has disheartened him, but as the as time, he also prays to the god not to punish them for their sin. This poem reflects a brother' love and care for a sister.
Rabindranath Tagore had depicted the strong friendship between two sisters in his The gardener XVIII: When Two Sisters, while in Brother and Sister, poet Lewis Caroll portrayed the love and hate relationship between brothers and sisters. In Sisters, poetess Lucille Clifton beautifully welcomes her newly born sister to their family.
