Mary Frye enjoyed writing poetry very much. She wasn’t interested in publishing her poems, and once in a while she passed one on to her friends. “I don’t think I have any great talent,” she said. But many people would disagree. One of her poems, especially, has given hope and comfort (安慰) to people for over 50 years.
When one of her friends lost someone close, Mary Frye wrote a poem, which seemed to spring from her heart, and gave it to the sad woman. That poem was later passed on to others, who, in turn, passed it on until it became an American classic. “If it helps one person through a hard time, I am satisfied,” said Mary, who received no pay for her work. It has been used at countless funerals (葬礼), translated and used in foreign lands.
Here is her original text, which has moved so many for so long:
Do not stand at my grave and weep, / I am not there, I do not sleep. / I am in a thousand winds that blow, / I am the softly falling snow. / I am the gentle showers of rain, / I am the fields of ripening grain. / I am in the morning hush, / I am in the graceful rush. / Of beautiful birds in circling flight, / I am the starshine of the night. / I am in the flowers that bloom (盛开), / I am in a quiet room. / 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.
How many people are finding strength and comfort from a poem by a woman who always said she had no talent? And what if she had kept her poetry to herself? Don’t be afraid to use the talents you do have; it has been well advised. The woods would be very silent if only the birds with the sweetest songs were heard.
