To My Sister
William Wordsworth


It is the first mild day of March:
Each minute sweeter than before
The redbreast sings from the tall larch
That stands beside our door.

There is a blessing in the air,
Which seems a sense of joy to yield
To the bare trees, and mountains bare,
And grass in the green field.

My sister! ('tis a wish of mine)
Now that our morning meal is done,
Make haste, your morning task resign;
Come forth and feel the sun.

Edward will come with you;--and, pray,
Put on with speed your woodland dress;
And bring no book: for this one day
We'll give to idleness.

No joyless forms shall regulate
Our living calendar:
We from to-day, my Friend, will date
The opening of the year.

Love, now a universal birth,
From heart to heart is stealing,
From earth to man, from man to earth:
--It is the hour of feeling.

One moment now may give us more
Than years of toiling reason:
Our minds shall drink at every pore
The spirit of the season.

Some silent laws our hearts will make,
Which they shall long obey:
We for the year to come may take
Our temper from to-day.

And from the blessed power that rolls
About, below, above,
We'll frame the measure of our souls:
They shall be tuned to love.

Then come, my Sister! come, I pray,
With speed put on your woodland dress;
And bring no book: for this one day
We'll give to idleness.


Epistle to Augusta (first verse only)
Lord Byron


MY sister! my sweet sister! if a name  
Dearer and purer were, it should be thine;  
Mountains and seas divide us, but I claim  
No tears, but tenderness to answer mine:  
Go where I will, to me thou art the same—
A loved regret which I would not resign.  
There yet are two things in my destiny,—  
A world to roam through, and a home with thee.


Here's a few quotes that sum up what it means to be a sister:-


I am greatly pleased with your account of Fanny; I found her
in the summer just as you describe, almost another sister, M&
could not have supposed that a niece would ever have been so
much to me. She is quite after one’s own heart.
Jane Austen


Surely a gentle sister is the second best gift to a man; and it is first
in point of occurrence; for the wife comes after.
Herman Melville


Help one another, is part of the religion of sisterhood.
Louisa May Alcott


The bond of love and friendship between sisters is really something
to treasure.  

Why not try penning a few lines to your sister - it doesn't have to be
poetry, but just putting your thoughts down on paper of how special
you think she is and why will be something that she'd likely to
treasure for years.
