Summary
Greetings Card - sentiment Front: green and gold ink embossed floral border Verse: In blue ink: "TO A BROTHER. To thee, the lov'd companion of my youth, This tribute of affection I address; Trusting a Sister's love may give a worth To that which otherwise were valueless. The hollow world will meet thee with a smile, While fortune smiles; but, should she fickle prove, The smile becomes a frown, false friends desert- 'Tis then still warmer glows A Sister's love."
