A grim little roll call of three brothers who each meet a bad end. It's an old rhyme carried more by its stark, chant-like rhythm than by any comfort in the story, so it's worth a look before sharing it.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
There was an old woman had three sons,
Jerry and James and John,
Jerry was hanged, James was drowned,
John was lost and never was found;
And there was an end of her three sons,
Jerry and James and John!
