Do not stand at my grave and weep;
lam not there. Ido not sleep,
lama thousand winds that blow,
lam the diamond glints on snow,
lam the sunlight on ripened grain;
lam the gentle autumns rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush,
lam the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
lam not there. I did not die;
lam in the Heavenly Sky.
