By Mary Elizabeth Frye

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 the diamond glints in the snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circled 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,

I only left.
