        Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep.

          Do not stand at my grave and weep.

          I am not there, I do not sleep.

          I am the thousand winds that blow.

          I am diamond glints on snow.

          I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

          I am gentle autumnal rain.

          When you waken in the morning hush.

          I am the soft uplifting rush

          Of quiet birds in circled flight.

          I am the soft stars that shine at night.

          Do not stand at my grave and cry –

          I am not there.  I did not die.
