LOVE BETWEEN BROTHERS AND SISTERS by ISAAC WATTS

First Line: WHATEVER BRAWLS DISTURB THE STREET
Last Line: FALL OUT AND CHIDE AND FIGHT.
Subject(s): FAMILY LIFE; MNEMONICS; RELATIVES;
WHATEVER brawls disturb the street,
There should be peace at home:
Where sisters dwell and brothers meet,
Quarrels should never come.

Birds in their little nests agree;
And 'tis a shameful sight,
When children of one family
Fall out and chide and fight.
