As was my sire’s that winter day,
How strange it seems, with so much gone
Of life and love, to still live on!
Ah, brother! only I and thou
Are left of all that circle now,—
The dear home faces whereupon
That fitful firelight paled and shone.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

If thou didst ever thy dear father love—
...
Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder.

Murder most foul, as in the best it is,
But this most foul, strange, and unnatural.”
