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 glints on snow, I am the sun on ripended grain, I am the gental autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight, I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. Attributed to Mary Elizabeth Frye
