"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's rain."
"When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight." I am the soft star that shines at night."
"Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die."
