D on't Stand By M y Grave And Weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep: I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousands winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on snow; I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn 's rain; When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush O f quiet birds in circled flight I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die.
