Final Glance
Rpna!??; Railpv Marliann .Rnnial Hall
She is just away, I cannot say.
And I will not say that she is gone.
She is just away with a cheery smile,
And a wave of the hand.
She has wandered into an unknown land.
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must he, since she lingers there.
So think of her smiling on as dear
In the love of there as the love of here;
Think of her still as the same, I say:
She is not gone, she is just away.
