Interment was at Kopsa cemetery.I cannot say, and I will 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 left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since she lingers there. And you - O you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return, Thing of her faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here; Think of her still as the same, I say; She is no dead - she is just away! -James Whitcomb Riley.
