Do not stand at my

grave and weep

I am not there I do

 not sleep.

I am the diamond

glint on snow.

I am the sunlight

on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain,

When you wake

in morning hush.

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at

my grave and weep.

I am not there

I do not sleep.
