BROTHERHOOD by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: COME, BROTHERS ALL!
Last Line: THAT STUMBLE DOWN LIFE'S CHECKERED STREET.
Subject(s): BROTHERHOOD;

Come, brothers all!
Shall we not wend
The blind-way of our prison-world
By sympathy entwined?
Shall we not make
The bleak way for each other's sake
Less rugged and unkind?
O let each throbbing heart repeat
The faint note of another's beat
To lift a chanson for the feet
That stumble down life's checkered street.
