~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"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 wandered into an unknown land.
And left us dreaming how very fair.
It needs must be since she lingers there.
And you -- O you, who the wildest 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."
