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 the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened
grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in
the morning's hush, 1 am the swift uplifting rush of quiet
birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not
die.
A teardrop on my cheek,
is all it seems to be. A teardrop on my cheek,
shed for you and me. A teardrop lost and lonely,
lonely as I am for you. A teardrop slowly falling,
falling as I fell for you. A teardrop being wiped away,
as easily as I was from you.

WHEN I SAIL AWAY
231. Sometime at eve when the tide is low,
I shall slip my mooring and sail away,
With no response to the friendly hail
Of kindred craft in the busy bay
in the silent hush of the twilight pale
When the night stoops down to embrace the day
and the voices call o'er the waters flow —
Sometime at evening when the tide is low
I shall slip my moorings and sail away
232. Through the purple shadows that darkly trail
O'er the ebbing tide of the unknown sea
I shall fade me away, with a dip of sail
And ripple of waters to tell the tale
Of a lonely voyager sailing away
To Mystic Isles where at anchor lay
The crafts of those who have sailed before
O'er the Unknown Sea to the Unknown Shore
233. A few who have watched me sail away
Will miss my craft from the busy bay,
Some friendly barks that were anchored near
Some loving hearts that my soul held dear
In silent sorrow shall drop a tear
But I shall have peacefully furled my sail
In moorings sheltered from storm or gale
And greeted friends who have sailed before
O'er the Unknown Sea to the Well Known Shore.
Lizzie Clark Hardy.
