An Old Indian Prayer

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am there,I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow;

I am the diamond glints on snow

.I am the Sunlight on ripened grain;

I am the gentle autumn's rain

.When you awaken in the morning's hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight

.I am the soft star that shines at night

Do not stand at my grave and cry

.I am not there: I did not Die
