I cannot say and I will not say
That he is dead. He is just away!
With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand
He has wandered into an unknown land
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be, since he lingers there.
And you - O you, who the wildest 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. I say,
He is not dead -- he is just away!
