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 diamonds on the sands.
I am sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.
When you awaken in mornings hush,
I am the soft uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circle flight.
I am the bright star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
