First Line: We cannot live without our fellow-men

Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Brothers; Togetherness; Half-brothers
We cannot live without our fellow-men,
Nor hermit-like within the desert roam.—
Thrice vain for Man, that lonely denizen,
To shrink from those who share his earthly home!—
We must perforce to Man's high service come!
For we are members all one of another,
As bone knits bone, brother uniteth brother.
