Do Not Stand and Weep
 
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep.
 

I am a thousand winds that swiftly blow.
I am the diamond glint
on newly fallen snow.
I am the sunlight
on ripened grain.
I am the soft and gentle autumn rain.
 

When you wake from sleep in the early morning hush, 
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft, starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep.
