I cannot say, and I will not say, that she is dead. She is just away. With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand,
She has wondered into an unknown land.
And left us dreaming hoe very fair,
It needs must be, since she lingers there,
And you -Oh you, who the wildrest yearn,
For the old time step and the glad return.
Think of her faring on, as dear
In the love of there as the love of here;
Think of her still as the same, I say,
She is not dead- she is just away.
