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 uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.
