| We cannot say and will not say
That he is dead,
He's just away,
With CHEEKY smile;
! And a wave of the land,
He has wandered unto an unknown
| land.
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be since he fingers
| there;
And you, Oh you, who the widest
years
For the old time step and the glad
| return;
Think of him fairing on as dear.
In the love of there as the love OF
/ here;
Think of him still as the same
say
He is not dead
He is just away.
