Do Not Stand At My GraveAnd Weep

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 in ripened
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flights.
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.
