    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @brandoncruise6398
    @brandoncruise6398 7 ปีที่แล้ว +153

    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.

      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-Gītā, as well reflecting the teachings of the Gita.

    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.

    "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.

    Tá mé míle gaotha a shéideadh,
    Tá mé an glints Diamond ar sneachta,
    Tá mé an ghrian ar gráin ripened,
    Tá mé an bháisteach fhómhar milis.
    Nuair a dúisigh tú ar maidin ar hush
    Tá mé an Rush uplifting tapa
    Na n-éan ciúin i ciorcal timpeall ar eitilt.
    Tá mé an Starlight bog ar an oíche.
    Ná seasamh ar mo uaigh agus caoin,
    Níl mé ann; Ní raibh mé bás ...

      Gaelic, the Celts never came to Ireland, we know because there was no change in culture before or after the so called arrival of the Celts into Ireland. There is also no archaeological evedience of much Celtic artefacts here in Ireland. ie Celtic swords, helmets. Also we know when the Norse arrived in Ireland the Irish at that time were ill equipped to deal with the Norse invaders. Which again shows that the Iron age Celtic warriors were not here fighting the Norse with their swords and shields as they did against the Roman empire for many years across Europe. The Irish fought with a small shield and spear mostly.

    • @TheAchilles26
      @TheAchilles26 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Oisin O Lochlainn Gaelic is a Celtic language. One of the few that survives today, in fact. The term Celt does NOT refer to a single coherent culture at all, but rather is a catch all for any culture that spoke a Celtic language, such as Gaelic, Gaulish, or Welsh.

    Makes me think of the residents I used to (still up for debate) work for in a nursing home. We are all free and equal in death, and we are all equal in our last days. Treat the dying how you would want to be treated. It will happen to you one day. I fully believe that no matter how "out of it" somebody is little things still make a difference to them. Ask them what they want to wear if they can still respond. Ask them how their day was if they can respond. Ask them about their kids. If they can't talk for themselves just tell them what's going on in the facility and with your day. They appreciate it. They are living in their own personal hell, they appreciate it, trust me. Please visit your parents and grandparents if they are in a nursing home, even if they can barely hold a conversation or just straight up can't, please just visit them once in a while and be there beside them, even if it's painful to see them in their state, it's worse for them. So many feel forgotten. It means so much for them. I've seen cnas talk shit about patients in front of them or say to not bother doing things because they don't realize/don't care. Don't listen to that shit. Treat them like the human beings they still are unless you are literally so pressed for time that other residents might not get their basic needs met if you take extra time. It's one thing if you have so many patients that you just don't have the time do do anything extra but if you can't be bothered to give a patient their table or their remote or book when everyone else is already laid down and you have 3 hours until your next rounds you're just fucking lazy to the point of cruelty. Give them their fucking little hat. Give them their fucking book. Ask them how their day was. Clean their fucking spoon off if you just put it in some shit that you wouldn't want to eat together with the shit you are about to feed them. Wipe their goddamn piss off their body after you change them when they were soaked even if you have no wipes, use a fucking paper towel if skin breakdown isn't a major issue for them. It's all they have left. (you wouldn't believe the amount of cnas I've seen not do this.) These people still have emotions that are often not taken as seriously as they should be because they are old (and I am not talking about cases of severe dementia here.). I am drunk.

    He is now up with God in heaven.
    Finally, he will see Jesus face to face
    Yes, it is, it’s 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.

    Just wandering: how is this an Irish song? It was written by Mary Elizabeth Frye and she was born in Ohio in 1905. At the age of 12 she moved to Maryland, where she lived for the rest of her life. She wrote this in 1932. (Wikipedia)

    She was a great woman. Taught me how to love and how to enjoy the moment. She is a SAINT now.

      @marytriplett4365 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    looked it up, the poem seems to be "Immortality", written by Clare Harner in 1934. I recognized it as something I'd seen elsewhere.
    Wish it were credited in the description, as is, it feels like the singer is taking credit for the song, especially since they didn't use the proper title of the poem.

    I am a beast´s footsteps in the snow.
    I am the dark bird on ripened grain.
    I am the cold November rain.
    When you awaken in the morning's hush
    I am a nightmares uplifting rush
    Of quiet bats in circled flight.
    I am the wolfs howl in the dead of night.
    Do not stand at my grave and cry;
    I am not here. I did not die.
