| 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 glints on snow | |
| I am the sunlight an ripened grain | |
| I am the gentle autumn rain | |
| I am the soft stars that shine at night | |
| Do not stand at my grave and cry | |
| I am not there | |
| I did not die | |
| When I the song of life have sung | |
| My soul's relesaed, its flight begun | |
| Do not stand with grief-bowed head | |
| My soul's just free, I am not dead! | |
| I'll wait beyond the silent wall | |
| With the hordes who've gone before | |
| I cannot heed your pleading call | |
| My soul's been freed forever more | |
| I've found a place of peace and quiet | |
| And boundless beauty rare | |
| The day's not broken by the night | |
| There's naught of trouble anywhere | |
| Rejoice, ye earth-bound one, with gathering | |
| My soul is free inside my dreams | |
| I will come down at night | |
| To these resounding beaches | |
| And the long gentle wind of the sea | |
| Here for a single hour in the wide starlight | |
| I shall be happy for the dead are free | |
| And after many a summer dies the swan |
