I DID NOT DIE
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 glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in themorning’s hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shineat night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there; I did not die.
