'We cannot and will not say
That he is dead, he is just away;
With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand
He wandered into an unknown land.
And left us dreaming how very fair
It need must be since he lingers there.
And you, O you, who the wildest years
For the old-time step and the glad return
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love there as the love of here.
Mild and gentle as he was brave
When the sweetest love of his life he gave.' "
Note: Jim could not read or write, have some of his papers marked with his "X".
