Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow
Across Northrend's bright and shining snow.

I am the gentle showers of rain,
On Westfall's fields of golden grain.

I am in the morning hush,
Of Stranglenthorn's jungle, green and lush.

I am in the drums loud and grand
The thunderous hooves across Nagrand.

I am the stars warmly gleaming
Over Darnassus softly dreaming.

I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I do not die.

This is a really nice poem, and I really enjoyed reading it. I like the organization, or rather the form that his has, how the first and last stanzas say different things but reiterate the same point, and how the stanzas in between are just multiple descriptive examples of the same point. Well done.

Ya, it is Anglo-Saxon and is actually on a tomb-stone. The one that you have, Fellow, has the second line in each stanza (except the first and last stanzas) just a little different from the version I've seen. Such a good poem though. Amazingness

very good, shows a dark yet optimistic view in some respects to death and dying, dont think its depressing at all, no idea where most of the cities you refer to are? but anyways.

Sure. I don't mind, but remember it`s Blizzard Entertaiment `s poem so don't use it on other forums without telling that.
