Verse 30 – Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep

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’s 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 stars that shine
at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.
