So punny.
it literally took me 30 seconds on google to find the author of the "do not stand at my grave and weep" poem > Mary Elizabeth Frye in 1932.
I checked in this very reliable book, and there are in fact many possible authors of the poem 'Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep', that is why it could not be entered in to the competition for the nations's favourite poems. I would have put the author if there was one for definite, as I believe people deserve acknowledgement for their work, but as many academics have debated, and are still debating the true author of this particular poem, I do not believe I can put an author as I may be wrong.
If you were genuinely trying to be helpful by pointing out a mistake, thank you. If however you were simply trying to 'pick a fight' as it were I would like to ask you Why? If it makes you feel superior, or something to put people down, then that's mean, and it might be nice to find a new hobby.
Thank you for your ask it's the first one I've got and it was nice to have to think about answering someone.
I hope you have a nice day,
Best wishes
