Do not stand by my grave, and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep—
I am the thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond radiant snow,
I am the sunlight ripened grain,
I am the gentle, autumn rain.
I am the morning’s hush,
I am the sudden rush
of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the silent calm of night.

Do not stand by my grave, and cry—
I am not there, I did not die.
