from Clare Harner's poem IMMORTALITY

[Verse 1]
Do not stand
By my grave, and weep.
I am not there, 
I do not sleep

[Verse 2]
I am the thousand winds that blow 
I am the diamond glints in snow 
I am the sunlight on ripened grain, 
I am the gentle, autumn rain.

[Chorus]
As you awake with morning's hush, 
I am the swift, up-flinging rush 
Of quiet birds in circling flight, 
I am the day transcending night.

[Verse 3] 
Do not stand
By my grave, 
and cry
I am not there I did not die.

[Chorus]
As you awake with morning's hush, 
I am the swift, up-flinging rush 
Of quiet birds in circling flight, 
I am the day transcending night.

Immortality
