DEDICATED TO THE BEREAVED FAMILY Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not th.ere. I do net sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on show. I am tbe sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awake in the morning's hush, I am the swift upflinging rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft star-shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there. I did not die.
