Poem found on the body of a British Soldier killed in Northern Ireland:
"Do not stand on 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."

Berlin Cemetery:
Berlin Cemetery's a funny place,
there's seven graves and then a space,
I thought a while, and then I knew,
those seven were a bomber crew.
