Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds
in circling flight.
I am the soft starshine of night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die.
