“Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep”
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 do not die.
Response:
i believe that this poem has to deal with a person who has passed away, but whoever comes to their grave should not mourn their death. i also feel that by the way this poet wrote this poem, i think its trying to say that even if you die, your spirit will live for ever.

Great response short and to the point thumbs up haha
G-unit is a genius. Who could have ever have thought of that interpretation besides him. I think he was dead accurate in his assumptions. I do not know what else to say to such a brilliant response. Incredible!
I agree with you Michael. I personally believe that when a person dies it is not the true person that i loved and cherished. Everyone has a spirit and when they pass the spirt will always be with the people they love or up in the heavens. The only thing at the grave is bones. Bones are not the person that you love.
Love your interpretation! That is exactly what I thought. I also loved this poem and it happened to be my favorite. Death to me has always been such a sad and dark event. However, this poem really helped show me what beauty is in death. Death can be seen in all of the great and wonderful things that are part of us each and every day. The alliteratin in this poem helps paint a beautiful picture resembling death in a very positive and healthy way.
