I DID NOT DIE

I did not die      (Bat tu)

Do not stand by my grave and cry,
I'm not there - I do not sleep,
I'm a thousand winds that blow,
I'm the diamond's glint on snow,

I'm the sunlight on ripened grain
I'm the gentle Autum's rain,
When you awake in the morning's hush,
I'm the swift uplifting rush

Of quied birds in circle flight,
Do not stand by my grave and cry,
I'm not there , I did not die.
