SHE IS JUST AWAY
I cannot say, and I will not say
That she . is dead—She is Just

With a cheery smile, and a wave
of tie hand,
ffhe has wandered into an un

And left us dreaming how very
fair
It must be, since she. lingers
there.
And you—O' you, with the wild

For the old time step and the
clad return,
Think of her faring on, as dear
