Don't Stand at My Grave and Cry 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 on ripened grain I am the gentle Autumn 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 Author Unknown Permission granted by The Observer/Enterprise for publication in the Coke County TXGenWeb Archives.
