From Marina For my beloved friend Sue Do not stand By my grave, and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep – I am the thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints in snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle, autumn rain. As you awake with morning’s hush, I am the swift, up-flinging rush Of quiet birds in circling flight, I am the day transcending night. Do not stand By my grave, and cry – I am not there, I did not die. This is the version published in The Gypsy of December 1934 (p. 16), under the title "Immortality" and followed by the authors name and location: "CLARE HARNER; Topeka, Kan."
