A: This was the poem my
mom asked to be read at her funeral three years ago. Do Not Stand at My
Grave and Weep is a poem written in 1932 by Mary Elizabeth Frye. Although the origin of the
poem was disputed until later in her life, Mary Frye's authorship was confirmed
in 1998 after research by Abigail
Van Buren, a newspaper columnist.
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 sun 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 circling flight.
I am the soft starlight
at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
