Do not stand
Language: English
Our translations: FIN
Do not stand
by my grave and weep;
I am not there.
I do not sleep.
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.
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.
Do not stand
by my grave and cry;
I am not there.
I did not die.
