Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am the 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 circled in flight,
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I did not die.

That poem was written by Mary Elizabeth Frye. I'm not sure of the year, but it was in the 1920's or 30's.
