“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 a diamond glint on the snow.

I am sunlight on the ripened grain.

I am a gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am soft starshine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there. I did not die.”
