Obituary of Mary Ellen Guertin

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP

Do not stand at my grave and weep;

I am not there. I do not slepp.

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.
