At 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. Summary and Analysis The poem on a gravestone at St Peter’s church, Wapley, England "Do not stand at my grave and weep" is the first line and popular title of a bereavement poem of disputed authorship. Below is the version published in The Gypsy of December 1934 (page 16), under the title "Immortality" and followed by the author's name and location: "CLARE HARNER, Topeka, Kan." The indentation and line breaks are as given there. 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. Other versions of the poem appeared later, usually without attribution, such as the one below. Differing words are shown in it by italics. 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's 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 star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die. The Gravestone at St Peter’s church, Wapley, England 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. Origins Who was Clare Harner? John Wayne read the poem "from an unspecified source" on December 29, 1977 at the memorial service for film director Howard Hawks. After hearing John Wayne's reading, script writer John Carpenter featured the poem in the 1979 television film Better Late Than Never. To coincide with National Poetry Day 1995, the British television programme The Bookworm conducted a poll to discover the nation's favourite poems, and subsequently published the winning poems in book form. 천개의 바람이 되어 내 무덤 앞에서 울지 말아요 나는 그곳에 있지 않고, 잠들어 있지 않아요 나는 천개의 바람되어 불어다니고 나는 눈위에 금강석처럼 반짝이지요. 나는 익어가는 곡식위의 햇볕이에요 나는 부드러운 가을 비에요 당신이 아침 침묵속에서 깨어날 때 재빨리 상승하는 돌진이기도 하지요, 원형의 비상하는 조용한 새들 중에 나는 한밤중에 빛나는 부드러운 별이랍니다. 내 무덤 앞에서 울지를 말아요, 나는 거기에 있지도 않고, 나는 죽지도 않았어요. 日本語——中國漢語繁體互譯: Japanese - Chinese Traditional Chinese Intertranslation 私のお墓の前で 泣かないでください 請不要佇立在我墳前哭泣 そこに私はいません 眠ってなんかいません 我不在那裡 我沒有沉睡不醒 千の风に千の风になって 化作千縷風 我已化身為千縷微風 あの大きな空を 吹きわたっています 翱翔在無限寬廣的天空裡 秋には光になって 畑にふりそそぐ 秋天 化作陽光照射在田地裡 冬はダイヤのように きらめく雪になる 冬天 化身作白雪綻放鑽石般的光芒 朝は鸟になって あなたを目覚めさせる 朝陽升起時 幻化為飛鳥輕聲呼喚你 夜は星になって あなたを见守る 夜幕低垂時 幻化為星辰溫柔守護你 私のお墓の前で 泣かないでください 請不要佇立在我墳前哭泣 そこに私はいません 死んでなんかいません 我不在那裡 我沒有離開這裡 千の风に 千の风になって 化作千風 我已化身為千縷微風 あの大きな空を 吹きわたっています 翱翔在無限寬廣的天空裡 千の风に 千の风になって 化作千風 我已化身為千縷微風 あの大きな空を 吹きわたっています 翱翔在無限寬廣的天空裡 あの大きな空を 吹きわたっています 翱翔在無限寬廣的天空裡…… …… Immortality image Bee Gees - Immortality (Live in Las Vegas, 1997 Céline Dion - Immortality (Official Video) ft.

There are Korean versions of the same song.
But they are much different from the original song.
I like the original song better.

Thank you for your thorough review of this poem.
I didn't realize that it had been already posted three times; in Apr 27, 2016, Feb 15, 2012 and Sept 04, 2010.
I will try to find more videos.
I just found and posted two videos at the end of the web page.
Please enjoy the songs.

Celine Dion's "Immortality" is a different song with different lyrics.
The song of "Thousand Winds" does not necessarily try to express Immortality.
The gentle sweet song tries to tell you that when someone dies, his (or her) soul
has not gone away but stays with you.
This song is in the Tajin Karaoke in the Japanese section.
It is easy to learn and sing. Originally being in Japanese,
you can easily replace the lyrics with English or Korean.

Recently I stumbled upon this sad but illuminating poem, which moved me deeply.
The author was not clarified though a few names were claimed.
I wish you enjoy reading this work.
