Do Not
Stand by My Grave and Weep
Do not
stand by 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
awake in the morning hush
I am the
swift uplifting rush
Of quiet
birds in circling flight
I am the
soft starshine at night.
Do not
stand by my grave and cry,
I am not
there…I did not die.
