SHE IS JUSTAWAY
You cannot say, you must 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 lifted us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since she lingers there; So think ofherfaring on, as dear In the love of there as the love of here, JTtink of her still as the same and say, She is not dead, she isjust away.

Gods tomorrow is a day ofgladness, And itsjoys shall neverfade;
No more weeping, no more sense of sadness, No more fores to make afraid.

Will be better than today!
