I did not die . . .

Do not stand by and weep . . .
I'm not there . . .
I do not sleep . . .
I am the thousand winds that blow . . .
I am the diamond that glints on the snow . . .
I am the sun on the ripened grain . . .
I am the gentle autumn rain . . . of quiet birds in circled flight . . .
I am the soft stars that shine at night . . .
Do not stand by & cry . . .
I am not there . . . 
I did not die . . . . . .
