Alicia's Poem:

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am in a thousand winds that blow,
across Northeren's bright and shining snow.

I am the gentle shower of rain,
on Westfall's fields of golden grain.

I am in the morning hush,
of Stranglethorn's jungle, green and lush.

I am in the drums loud and grand,
the thunderous hooves across Nagrand.

I am the stars warmly gleaming,
over Darnassus softly dreaming.

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.

A very interesting poem indeed.

Blizz is hell good on making poems!

Not THEIR poem written for the sake of a quest/fun really. Caylee Dak is a tribute to Caylee (real player). His real name was Dak Krause and he died of leukemia. So, this is less to be "lol nice poem" and more R.I.P.

I'm just gonna assume he was a hunter with that pet and that gear hence the "lookalike". He was in the guild Boulderfist Heroes, for anyone who might want to know.

Boulderfist Heroes :: View topic - Links to information about Caylee (Dak Krause) - I recommend you listen to the Teamspeak MP3

They took an original funeral poem and edited it to fit the WoW theme.

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,
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.

Thanks for the info cal, shame that he passed away and was nice of blizzard to include the quest into the game

[xhopesfall20]

If you look up his amory, you can see that the NPC is wearing the exact gear that he was wearing when he logged on last.. also the pet is the same pet he had with the same name "Dusty". Most honorable thing I've seen blizz do yet.

They did some stuff for that kid who had cancer and his house burnt down aswell.

[Eriqoball]

The kid that your talking about there was the first ever to get the phoenix mount. It is sad that people around the web don't like him just because of that.

[J-A-K-E]

was this the kid that decided to go to the bliz hq for the "Make a Wish Foundation"? poor kid R.I.P

[sliverdead]

Wow Thats so awsome blizzard does some good stuff

[Cimerii]

Great poem, very honourable of Blizzard.

Yeah, the quest where you feed the dog in Mulgore (Tauren Starting Zone for you tards) is from that kid. He designed it, ALSO, the Tauren NPC that gives you the quest actually has the Unique voice of the actual kid!

[Nva]

There is also a new quest in bloodhoof village made for a kid who died. You're supposed to find his dog. The creepy part is that the kid actually got to make the voice for the NPC. The NPC sounds scarry :'(

Ok, I'm sorry, but why is this man so special and important? How many other people in the world died the same day he did? Probably thousands. Just because he was a fellow WoW player doesn't make him special.
