THE YOUNGEST SON OF HIS FATHER’S HOUSE

ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH

    The eldest son of his father’s house,
    His was the right to have and hold;
    He took the chair before the hearth,
    And he was master of all the gold.

    The second son of his father’s house,
    He took the wheatfields broad and fair,
    He took the meadows beside the brook,
    And the white flocks that pastured there.

Pipe high—­pipe low!  Along the way From dawn till eve I needs must sing!  Who has a song throughout the day, He has no need of anything!

    The youngest son of his father’s house
    Had neither gold nor flocks for meed. 
    He went to the brook at break of day,
    And made a pipe out of a reed.

Pipe high—­pipe low!  Each wind that blows Is comrade to my wandering.  Who has a song wherever he goes, He has no need of anything!

    His brother’s wife threw open the door. 
    “Piper, come in for a while,” she said. 
    “Thou shalt sit at my hearth since thou art so poor
    And thou shalt give me a song instead!”
