The Indian Verse

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 a diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush 
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starshine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there . . . I did not die.
