I Did Not Die!

Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep!

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am a diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on the ripened grain
I am the gentle Autumn rain.

When you awake in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush.

Of quiet bird in circling flight,
I am the soft starshine at night.

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