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 an ripened grain I am the gentle autumn rain 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 When I the song of life have sung My soul's relesaed, its flight begun Do not stand with grief-bowed head My soul's just free, I am not dead! I'll wait beyond the silent wall With the hordes who've gone before I cannot heed your pleading call My soul's been freed forever more I've found a place of peace and quiet And boundless beauty rare The day's not broken by the night There's naught of trouble anywhere Rejoice, ye earth-bound one, with gathering My soul is free inside my dreams SongtexteI will come down at night To these resounding beaches And the long gentle wind of the sea Here for a single hour in the wide starlight I shall be happy for the dead are free And after many a summer dies the swan Aus Songtexte Mania
