I cannot say and I will not uiy'
That he is dead . . he is just away .
With a cheery amile and a Wwe of
the hand
He has wandered into an unknown
land
And left as dreaming how very fair
It needs must be, since he lingers
there,
And you oh you, who the wildest
yearn
For the old-time step and the glad re
turn
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of There, as the love of
Here;
Think of him as the same, I say,
He is not dead . he is just away.
