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 !   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 are free      And after many a summer dies the swan
