DO NOT STAND BY MY GRAVE AND FOREVER 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 SUNLIGHT ON RIPENED GRAIN. I AM THE GENTLE AUTUMNS RAIN. WHEN YOU AWAKEN IN THE MORNINGS 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 FOREVER CRY. I AM NOT THERE I DID NOT DIE.
