    Away
    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 ove of here:
    think of him still as the same,
    I say: he is not dead-he is just away.
