""""Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousnad winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on the 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.""""
