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 sunlight an ripened grain I am the gentle autumn rain 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
when I the song of life have sung my soul's relesaed, its flight begun do not stand with grief-bowed head my soul's just free, I am not dead! I'll wait beyond the silent wall with the hordes who've gone before I cannot heed your pleading call my soul's been freed forever more I've found a place of peace and quiet and boundless beauty rare the day's not broken by the night there's naught of trouble anywhere rejoice, ye earth-bound one, with gathering my soul is free inside my dreams
I will come down at night to these resounding beaches and the long gentle wind of the sea here for a single hour in the wide starlight I shall be happy for the dead are free
