l cannot say, l will not say
That he is dead; he is just away!
With a cherry smile, and wave
of hand
He has wandered into an un-

And he left us dreaming how
very fair
1t needs be since he fingers there.
And you-of you, who the wild
est yearn
For the old time step, and the
glad return
Think of him faring 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.
