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 on the ripened grain. When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush ofquiet birds in circledflight. 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.
