Do not stand at my grave and weep,
For I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on the new fallen snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the star shining at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
For I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die
