I must be gone
There is a grave
Where the lilies and daffodils wave
Please do not stand
At my grave and weep
I am not there nor do I sleep
It’s you it’s you it’s all for you
Everything I do is for your life
It’s you for you it’s all for you
Please do not stand at my grave and cry
I am the one
Wind that blows I am the diamond glints upon the snow
’Tis I the Sun
On ripened grain
And now it comes, the gentle Autumn rain
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush of flight
See the soft stars shine at night
Please do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there
I did not die
My Spirit is still alive
Smash my heart three-person’d God
That I may rise and bend your force to make me new
Dearly how I love you all, and how I beg requite
But I’m betrothed unto your enemy
Divorce me, untie me, and break me, you’ve locked me in chains
A sudden blow, wings beating still, I feel your heart pounding on me
Oh God let me remember you the way that you were before I died
I must be gone, you can’t see me
But please don’t stand at my grave and cry
Oh God let me remember you the way that you were before I died
