Do not stand at my grave and weep (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_not_stand_at_my_grave_and_weep)

Apparently, most probably by Mary Elizabeth Frye.

[Lokasenna]

It is called Do not stand at my grave and weep, and its by Mary Elizabeth Frye (only recently proved, though).

There are two versions:

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 on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
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.

And:

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.

Its also been put to music - Katherine Jenkins does a lovely version, and you can find it on youtube. Its one of my favourite songs...
