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 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 deadhe is just away.
