D o N o t Stand A t My Grave A nd Weep Do not stand a t my grave a n d weep. I am not there I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds th a t blow I am the diam ond g lin ts on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened g ra in I am the gentle a u tu m n rain. When you awaken in the m orning hush I am the swift uplifting rush O f quiet birds in circled flig h t I am the soft stars that shine a t night. Do not stand a t my grave a n d cry. I am not there, I did not die. Anon
