I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight 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 circled height. I am the soft stars that shine at night.
So, do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.

and thought together in the merciful dark."
