MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
Written for Moore’s Rural New-Yorker. 
WENDELL .• 
Wexdell, Oh alas my brother! 
Singing birds and summer ilowers 
Ne'er can call thee from that other 
Happy region back to ours. 
Wendell, speak but once more to us, 
Tell us all we long to know. 
Ope once more thine eyes and view us, 
Then, Oh 1 then we’ll let thee go. 
’Tis in vain—those pale lips never 
Shall give forth their music more. 
Earth hath lost thy song forever— 
Time, thy footsteps on its shore. 
Sadly must we lay another 
Of our faded blossoms by, 
Close beside where rests the other, 
Shall its withered petals lie. 
Wendell, now we've gentlp laid thee 
Where thy little brother sleeps, 
Trees of fragrant beauty shade thee, 
And the zephyr saftly creeps— 
Parts their leaves with gentle finger, 
Waves their tresses o’er the head, 
Birds, and balm, and blossoms linger 
Round their wearied playmates bed.. 
Yes thy bed : but ’mid supernal 
Song and bloom thy footsteps rove : 
Wendell, in that home eternal 
Thou so soon hast found above, 
Wilt thou think of us who wander, 
Spirit-bound with sin and fear ? 
Wilt thou tell the angels yonder 
Of thy kindred waiting here ? 
Happy thought—my faith is stronger— 
Brothers, sisters, dry your eyes : 
Weeping Parents, mourn no longer 
For your angels in the skies, 
For oh 1 when ye’ve left the mortal,— 
M r hen the shadowy vale ye’ve trod, 
Their fair hands may lift the portal, 
They may lead you to your God. 3
