THE SPAN IN MEMORIAM Margaret Marie Wellace died April 6, 1939 FOI FORE FOI HOR IOK IK AWAY We cannet say, and will not say — That she is dead--She is just away! With a cherry smile and 4 wave of the hand She has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fatr Its needs must be, since she lingers there, And you--0Oh you, who the wildest yearn For the old time step and the glad return, Think of her faring on as dear In the leve of There as the leve of Here, Think of hér s till the same I say; She is not dead--=She is just away!
