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.
