Immortality | |
Do not stand | |
By my grave, and weep. | |
I am not there, | |
I do not sleep— | |
I am the thousand winds that blow, | 5 |
I am the diamond glints in snow, | |
I am the sunlight on ripened grain, | |
I am the gentle, autumn rain, | |
As you awake with morning's hush, | |
I am the swift, up-flinging rush | 10 |
Of quiet birds in circling flight, | |
I am the day transcending night. | |
Do not stand | |
By my grave, and cry— | |
I am not there, | 15 |
I did not die. |
