Do not stand at my grave and weep" is the first line and popular title of a bereavement poem widely attributed to Mary Elizabeth Frye. Originally titled "Immortality," the poem was written by Clare Harner Lyon (1909-1977) and first published over her maiden name Clare Harner in the December 1934 issue of The Gypsy poetry magazine.[1] Without reference to the 1934 printing in The Gypsy, Mary Frye's alleged authorship in 1932 was purportedly confirmed in 1998 after research by Abigail Van Buren, a newspaper columnist.[2]
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.The poem is twelve lines long, rhyming in couplets. Each line is in iambic tetrameter, except for lines five and seven, the fifth having an extra syllable, the seventh, two extra.
