I am with you still in each new dawn.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the gentle autumn's 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.
