"I AM NOT THERE".
DON'T STAND BY 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 THE SUNLIGHT ON RIPENING GRAIN, I AM THE AUTUMNS GENTLE RAIN.
WHEN YOU AWAKEN IN THE MORNINGS HUSH, I AM THAT SWIFT UPLIFTING RUSH, OF QUIET BIRDS IN CIRCLING FLIGHT, I AM THE SOFT STARS THAT SHINE AT NIGHT.
DO NOT STAND BY MY GRAVE AND CRY, I AM NOT THERE - I DID NOT DIE.
