SHE IS NOT DEAD
"I cannot say, and I will not say That she is dead. She is just mray. With a cherry smile and a wave of the hand, She has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreruning how very fair It needs must be, since she lingers there.
ForAnd you -- Oh, you, who the wildest yearn
ari old:..time step, and the glad return,
Think of her faring on, so 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 a"f/Jay. "
