OUR MOSES AND OUR JENNIE.
A Touching and Appropriate Poem to the Arisen Moses Hull
and Jennie Hagan Brown.
Come and weep with me, my brothers and my sisters, one and all,
For our Moses and our Jennie have responded to the call,
And so greatly we will miss them in the field of labor here-
But we know they will be welcome in that higher working sphere.
Come and smile with me, my brothers and my sisters bowed in grief,
For the brother and the sister who have passed to their relief;
We will miss their earthly presence with 'a depth of feeling great,
But let's smile up at their freedom from the bonds of mortal state.
Come and laugh with me, my brothers and my sisters, for we know
That their duties, with their hardships and their struggles here below,
For the cause of Truth Immortal have a rich reward insured,
And they each have found advancement for the sufferings endured.
Come and shout with me, my brothers and my sisters, in high -glee!
O'er the work they each accomplished e'er transition set them free,
And let's band ourselves the firmer as a unit in the cause,
For though they have gone on higher, their great labor will not pause.
Come and bow with me, my brothers and my sisters: not in tears,
But in silent approbation for their services for years.
None could be more true and faithful to the Cause they held most dear.
Let us bow in prayerful silence o'er their well-done duties here.
