Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep

Original Poem

Do not stand
   By my grave, and weep,
I am not there,
   I do not sleep–

I am the thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints in snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle, autumn rain.
As you awake with morning’s hush,
I am the swift, up-flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the day transcending night.

Do not stand
   By my grave, and cry–
I am not there,
I did not die.

I am not there; I do not sleep

---

I am In a Thousand Winds That Blow

---

---

I am the softly falling snow

I am the gentle showers of rain

---

I am the fields of ripening grain

---

I am in the morning hush

---

I am in the graceful rush

---

Of beautiful birds in circling flight,

---

I am the starshine of the night

---

I am in the flowers that bloom

---

I am in a quiet room.

---

I am in the birds that sing

---

I am in each lovely thing.
