Inscription. Click to hear the inscription.

Do not stand by my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep,
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am a diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the soft starshine at night,
Do not stand by my grave and cry,
I am not there … I Did Not Die.

Erected by Disabled American Veterans.
