bye bye my Addie

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 glint on snow,

i am the sun on ripened grain,

i am the gentle autumn rain,

when you awaken in the mornings hush,

i am the swift uplifting rush,

of quiet birds in circling flight,

i am the soft star shine at night,

do not stand at my grave and cry,

i am not there, i did not die
