My four year old daughter. A red headed little girl with the heart of a valkayrie passed March 5,2017 I just found this song today and the image as i sat there and listened over and over brought me such peace I can't describe it. Thank you so much for sharing this song. Without the melody you put it to I don't think it would have given such a healing moment for me. I thank you.
I could see my daughter fully grown the wind talking her long vibrant red hair and blowing it gently waking over a bridge spanning a great canyon filled with mist to Valhalla. The lush green rolling hills that would cushion you better then the best bed with little white flowers all over. The scent of freshly fallen rain filling the air. I could see the other warriors in Valhalla standing there, some with spears beating the ground, some with sword and shield moving to meet with each note of the drums in the background as they waited for my daughter to join them.
Your words made this image so vivid in my mind that it was almost more real then right now. The combination was pure magic. This song I can't say enough about. Thank you for a wonderful cover that brought some peace to a broken hearted mother.
Desiree Whitfield im really sorry for your loss my condolences

Deepest sympathy for your loss buddy.
an go cuin an go tluath my heart is on the ground for your loss but at least she is in the air we breathe the wind the rain the snow we do not die we just become other it is those who remain who cry
Desiree Heck, I hope these last two years have been kind to you. Love is the most powerful force in the Universe. It binds us together, eternally. I wish you peace.
I dedicate this to my mother who passed away 2nd June 2023 .
Mother loved listening to LEAH .
Sadly as it was a Basic Cremation ( no one in attendance , not even me ) this wasn't possible đ
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Oh, Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
Didn't realize you posted this when i typed the lyrics xD SORRY!
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn 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 stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
Mary Elizabeth Frye

Michael Delarey gets me thinking like what if wind is just elder spirits trying to point us in the right direction?

I'm so sorry for your loss. Hugs and healing to you...
Leah, My wife died at the end of may, She was 62. I wrote a Eulogy and this verse. If you like it, you are welcome to use it. I've taken to writing a lot of verse of late. Some of it reasonable some probably cheesy. Here is that verse.
Please do not weep for we must depart.
I'll always be there, there in your heart.
A little tiny piece, a tiny little part.
Of the friendship and love we did impart.
When you're sitting silent.
I'll suddenly be there.
Right beside you in that chair.
Bringing you thoughts and memories of times gone by.
Where we did laugh and we did cry.
Please remember me with happiness.
And please do not distress.
For I've not gone I'm just unseen.
And your sadness will only demean.
The memory of all we've had.
So please please don't be sad.
Stephen Murray.
Stephen Murray May God bless you and I'm very sorry for your loss, you wrote a beautiful poem!
Thank you.
Stephen Murray Beautiful. May your beau rest in glorious peace.
Beautiful
Stephen Murray beautiful so sorry for your loss
The author, Mary Elizabeth Frye, composed this poem in a moment of inspiration, and scribbled it on a paper bag. She wrote it to comfort a family friend who had just lost her mother and was unable to even visit her grave. The year was 1932. While the poem isn't Celtic in origin, it's from the U.S., the words are definitely universal and they sound phenomenal with with Celtic arrangements.
Brandon Cruise Agreed on that.
Thank you brandon.
Susan Moran I think that was by Eleanor Farjeon
Though a modern work, it is connected with a style traditional to not only Celtic, but also Indo-European, culture. This it resonates with our most ancient heritage. The Song of Tuan from Old Irish literature is an example; and it even resembles in style a section of the Bhagavad-GÄ«tÄ, as well reflecting the teachings of the Gita.
Actually she didn't do any of those things because she didn't write it. It was written by Clare Harner on 1934. You just repeated an urban myth about plagerism.
I really can't believe my dad is gone. He's really gone.
He is now up with God in heaven.
Finally, he will see Jesus face to face
Yes, it is, itâs tough for those left behind.
As for him, well I know Jesus is there with open arms and looking forward to seeing him.
And now mom, his parents and his brother, uncles, aunts and many others will be there to rejoice to his welcome home party.
Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus, for being my comforter, for being my savior, for being my Lord and God. It gives me joy, and I rejoice.
Thanks for this LEAH my dad passed away last night, and listening to this is helping, still hasn't fully hit me yet, miss you already dadđ
this was my grandmas favorite song and we played it at her funeral... rest in peace. đđą
Sierra Alexis đ sending her spirt wishes. I did the same for mine.
Sierra Alexis Same with my Nan â„
Sierra Alexis same with my grandma đ„đ„
Sierra Alexis damn im crying now I'm so sorry for your loss
Sierra Alexis - Itâs a beautiful song, your grandma must have been very special.
I listen to this song and remember a close friend that died this week, and I can smile remembering that she isn't sleeping in a grave, but I will see her someday in heaven. The wind and sun, the gentle rain, all remind me that she's still here in heart. Thank you @LEAH
Venaril NightBlade sorry for your loss yes a be way to remember and beautiful song thankyou x
Found my friend passed in his sleep 11/23/22.
Love from egypt đđ although i'm born and raised muslim egyptian girl but i always find myself drawn to celtic culture anf scotland and everything related from music and landscaps like i belong there even i never visited it
I just lost my paw paw Mickey... When I stumbled across this link I was sitting on my porch it was pretty warm out and there was a gust of wind. I looked up and the was a hawk circling and as the song ended it flew away. I know now in my heart that he's gone to where he needs to be... I salute you and thank you for your service. I love you and I have smokey! RIP Mickey
Leah- thank you for creating this son. It helps a 16 year old wound. Sixteen years ago I lost my hero, my Dad, both my Grandmothers and my husband all within 6 months of each other. The hurt is deep and is like it was yesterday. So it takes a lot to soothe the pain. Thank you.
Mary Triplett Always in awe of the suffering of others, and ashamed that I believed my suffering was supreme.
Kimberly Landis The suffering either makes us strong or we succumb to it. I had no time to grieve for any of them. For my husband left me with two sons - 1 just 6 years old and the other 3. And since I worked for my state's welfare board 300 other families to worry over and take care of. As a client told my supervisor one day "Don't get rid of Ms Triplett. She's a leader, helper, and inspiring. We thought we had it bad until we heard her story after seeing the photos of her sons. How she does it we don't know. But she's inspired us to pick up the pieces and carry on." Guess it comes from a life time of service but if you ever need a shoulder I'm still strong enough to be there for you.
Lyrics:
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
Of gentle birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Oh, Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
Die.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
My end is near. Sing for me.
If you're still here, please hear my prayers for you. Blessed be you.

So itâs saint patricks day and my dad loved his irish heritage, he always thought a dragonfly was related to his spirit in a way. and he passed away many years ago and after his burial on the ground we saw a dying dragonfly. now i was talking to my girlfriend about the traditions of saint patricks day and right behind me she points out a dragonfly. It flies away right after I notice it and remember my father.
Closing my eyes, this song transports me towards other lands, in another world.
I think that happens when you get dead?
I happen to be a third Scottish but for some reason these Celtic funeral song actually it's me in the heart because it is touching the third part of me that happens to be Scottish
Bears sometime cry! Lost mother, daughter, wife and father! This song gets me the tears and the will to carry on! Love it! Manny thanks!
May angels shed beautiful rays of comforting light on you . And may your loved ones rest in peace .
Do not cry because it ended , rejoice because it happened .
I had not heard this one before. This is absolutely beautiful! Now I have two Celtic songs to play at my funeral...this one and "The Parting Glass"!
Her voice is AMAZING.
As long as the wind blows, as long as one blade of grass remains, as long as one man is truly free, then I will never die.
My darling sister left us on the 5th September 2016. This song is always a great comfort and makes me feel close to her. Love and miss you. Always in my heart.
This song is the song I'm going to play at my grandmother's funeral, she practically raised me and we both loved anything celtic I think this song is the right thing
This Will be played at my goodbye ceremony, it was a poem my mum gave me when my daddy died and means a lot to me x
Your voice is that of a Goddess Leah
I always think of me Norian mom when I hear this song. I feel her everywhere, even though we never met. She died while I was being born.
An American of Scottish and Irish decent, married to the stereotypical modern American woman, infected with white guilt, this music fills me with emotions I don't really understand. It's like being drawn to a wholesomeness and a decency that's so far away, like a dream in a dream
We played this for the entrance and departure for my mums funeral I'm 2019,
One of the hardest things was choosing her the right song that expressed who she was.
Everyone loved this song đ”
You have a beautiful voice Leah
I had these words written on my daughters funeral announcementâŠit has been almost 4 long years and I still need this reminder that she is free and in everything that is beautiful
Katherine Jenkins Lyrics
"Don't Stand At My Grave And Weep"
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn 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 stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
Nana Oddoneout thank you! Who wrote this poem or song?
Got it!
I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN ON THIS PLANET FOR 40 YRS NOW AND I NEVER KNEW HOW BEAUTIFUL IRISH WOMEN S SINGING VOICE IS AND THERE SONGS HAVE A SUCH SOUL TOUCHING SOUND ITS CRAZY ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
One thing I do not understand is the person sees the video and does not like everything well, but the unfortunate makes a brand issue that did not like if you liked do not have to brand that I do not like is just leave the page dust.
LEAH congratulations I really appreciated ten.
This reminds me of when I lost my 2 furbies I want everyone to know I love this song and want it to play in my funeral and will play this on my 2 furbies on there birthday and when they left me x
I requested this to be played at my uncle's funeral on July 12th, 2023. Thank you for this beautiful song, and the message behind it: this life is only temporary, but there is a greater, everlasting life beyond. đ
I love the Celtic style of your music. And your voice is amazing! Keep making more music!!
recently found this poem and it will be read when my time comes. with all my Heart - Tracy 69-03 may your rest be pleasant, where ever you travel.
Danke GEMA, fĂŒr deine Zensur ...
being half Irish on my father's side, I can really appreciate this music. I actually plan to have it played when I pass. Thank you for this beautiful song.
It's hard not to weep when the love of your live passes away from cancer, believe me: you DO weep, a lot! and these songs of Leah give me comfort! Thank You Leah!
This is such a heartfelt song I played it 4 times in a row. Gave me an inspiration tale for a tragedy in my novel.
Me too, coincidentally! This song is beautiful.
Very nice...brings me home! A place I can not seem to find again!
Thankyou for your verses. Celtic and free xxx
Heard this song in a youtube video compilation of Fantasy and Celtic songs and was mesmerized. Thank you internet! I found the song and singer searching by lyrics. I'm buying her music as a new fan.
This amazing song always brings tears to my eyes. R.I.P grandfather from Dublin and my young brother of 12 from Norway! May life in Asgard bring u all the happiness of the Nine Realms! SO MOTE IT BE!!!!!
Hauntingly beautiful......just so, so moving.....Wonderful voice.
In loving memory of my Sister who passed unexpectedly July,1,2023.
This will be at my funeral. I've no idea when that will be, but this song will be there. Thank you., Leah, and all else.
In loving memory of vally. Our beloved pet of 12 years. We'll miss you till we meet again. Our love is never ending. đđđ
This poem was read at my grandmother's funeral and a year later at my grandfather's. I'm going to have it read at mine some day.
Wow what a beautiful voice you have got.
Wonderful Song by Leah.

For Dorothy O'Brien , my own mother's best friend since 1952.Mrs.O'Brien passed last night,7/4/17.May God bless her,forgive her sins,and accept her into Heaven,Amen
I'm now listening to this for the 4th time straight.
I remember hearing this poem as a child and it being engraved in my brain, listening to it as a song hits on a new level amazing voice
Fantastic song. Life is to be lived. Not how long we live but that we lived.
I'm gonna add a bit to that. its not just THAT u lived, its HOW u lived. who where u in life? that's what our lives RLY mean. HOW DID WE LIVE and WHO WHERE WE IN LIFE? those two things r what RLY matter.
This is so beautiful...when my Mother died in February of 1998 someone gave me a sympathy card with this poem on the cover. It gave me such great comfort that I framed it. Thank you for putting this to music!
This is literally the song I'm playin at my funeral đ
Actually..I won't be playin itđ€đ¶
In loving memory of my beautiful husband who passed in 8/31/2017 đ Love you sweetie. You made me happy â€ïžđ

So sorry for your loss. Fellow celt here. I want this when my time comes.
What an unusual blend of instrumentation, styles and composition, blended with a dreamlike quality to the vocalsâŠ...astounding. Beautiful, haunting andâŠ..astounding.

Thanks for this. I found this poem and have been listening to versions. This makes my hurting soul feel warmth as I realise my special person is all around me and at a better place.
Beautiful, emotive rendition of a song commemorating a heartbreaking loss
Friend of ours lost his wife yesterday, she was only in her 40's
Words cannot accurately describe the pain of how he must feel, and feelings of helplessness by his friends, who are left wanting to hug her/or him
RIP beautiful Hazel
God Bless Stevie
YNWA
This lady has a voice of an angel!!!! love it!!!
Played this at my nans funeral xxxxx
This song helped me get through 2017. In a few months time my beloved rescue dog passed away, a friend committed suicide, and another friend died in a freak accident
I now have another song for my funeral, to go with wayfaring stranger, and wide river to cross.
Those are exactly the songs that I have chosen for mine too. I'm not even kidding.
WOW absolutely beautiful song and beautifully sung
9 years, and still awesome...
Beautiful TY
I read this at my dear Mothers grave .I am in gratitude forever for this .Thank You with all my heart.
I found this poem on the kitchen table on the morning of my Aunt's funeral. No one in the family knows how it got there. Thank you, Aunt Beebe.
My cat died recently and this makes me feel more able to cope with the grief.
angelstouch92 Awww...well, my pet rock drowned. My brother threw it into the lake yesterday...lol jk. But seriously though, my cat died, too. A hawk ate it. Came home from work one day and what do you know...on the tree branch above my front lawn there lies the dead body of my cat and a hawk tearing away at it. Damn raptors.
My cat is going to die if it wont stop bugging me,it is 21 years old .
angelstouch92 I know that pain, and Iâm feeling it now. Iâm sorry for your loss.
angelstouch92 đ
So sorry for your loss
OMG A bell went off in my head as I listened to this song. The words are written on my Aunt Vernice's funeral card from last year. I remember it was so refreshing to read. She had a lot of artistic talents. Thank you Leah. You have a beautiful voice. Glad I found your songs.
Wow. Just gorgeous.
I seriously cant get enough of this song
In memory of a very close friend, who died years ago. Thank you for singing this, LEAH.
This is so beautiful. One of my favorite poems turned into a song. A beautiful one at that.
Excellent song my lady.
Such a beautiful song, I can't stop listening it!
being a metalhead who also enjoys celtic music (being celtic myself hehe) I can honestly say that this woman makes the best celtic metal ive heard!!!
This exact rendition will be played at my celebration of life beyond my days...my Dad asked for Danny boy n I have asked for this.
Eindrucksvolle PrÀsentation ... !!!!!
Years ago a friend of mine said pretty much these words to me when serving his country far away. It didn`t happen. I wept. But I came across this song due to Mr. Peterson. Good music is good music. Fantastic voice.
My grandmother died she always loved this in her heart we played this song at her funeral Daisey fisher 1959-2018 đ
I would really love to hear you cover "Mordred's Lullaby".
CDG I second the notion. Heather Dale is a beast. đ»
who is it
Grand lament from the Celts and Gaels of Eire
I WILL TRY
I agree, that would be awesome.
A very striking song, got my attention yesterday in my playlist----- ( I have a grand daughter called Leah that I don't see much of )
This is officially my favorite song, hands down the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I'm in tears listening. I might even have them use this at my eventual funeral
