Elma Ketering IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our son and brother, Bob Ellis: I cannot say, and I will not say, That he is dead. He is just away! x 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 — oh 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 love of here! And loyal still, as he gave the blows Os .his warrior strength to his country’s foes. Mild and gentle, as he was brave, _ When the sweetest love of his life he gave Think of him still as the same, I say, He is not dead — he is just — away.
