Do not Stand at my Grave and Weep by Mary Elizabeth Frye (read by Tom O’Bedlam)

Mary’s authorised version also has the lines “I am in the flowers that bloom,/I am in a quiet room./I am in the birds that sing,/I am in each lovely thing“. Live and let live. This poem means a lot to some people. The central idea it expresses is called Natural Pantheism - which Richard Dawkins unkindly called “sexed-up atheism“ It’s a simple poem - I’d like to keep it that way. Please don’t start any religious discussions here: they tend to lead to argument and obscure what is, in fact, a very simple idea.
