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 snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you Wake in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circle flight,
I am the soft starshine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there...I did not die.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am a diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you Wake in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circle flight,
I am the soft starshine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there...I did not die.
