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's glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die.
