Do not stand
By my grave, and weep.
I am not there,
I do not sleep-
I am the thousand winds
that blow
I am the diamond glints in snow
I am the sunlight on
ripened grain,
I am the gentle, autumn rain.
As you awake with
morning's hush,
I am the swift, up-flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the day transcending night.
Do not stand
By my grave, and cry-
I am not there, I did not die.
