            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.
