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 GLINT ON SNOW.
I AM SUNLIGHT ON  RIPENED GRAIN.
I AM THE GENTLE AUTUMN RAIN.

 WHEN YOU WAKE IN THE MORNING HUSH,
I AM THE SWIFT, UPLIFTING RUSH
OF QUIET BIRDS IN CIRCLING FLIGHT.
I AM THE SOFT STARLIGHT AT NIGHT.

 I AM THE SONG THAT NEVER END.
I AM THE LOVE OF FAMILY & FRIEND.
I AM THE CHILD WHO HAS COME TO REST.
IN THE ARMS OF THE FATHER WHO KNOWS HER BEST.

 WHEN YOU SEE THE SUNSET FAIR,
I AM THE SCENTED EVENING AIR.
I AM THE JOY OF A TASK WELL DONE.
I AM THE GLOW OF THE SETTING SUN.

 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!
