I can not 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..O you,
who the wildest yearn
For the old time step
and the glad return,
Thinking of her
fairing 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
