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 a diamond on the snow
I am sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift 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
