EPIGRAPH: 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 glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in ciecled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I did not die.
FROM: Do not stand at my grave and weep, (1932), Poem, US
