“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 hush,

I am the swift, up-flinging rush

Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft star-shine at night

Do not stand at my grave and cry…..

I am not there. I did not die.”
