Requiem

by Robert Louis Stevenson

Under the wide and starry sky Dig the grave and let me lie: Glad did I live and gladly die,   And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you grave for me: Here he lies where he long'd to be; Home is the sailor, home from sea,   And the hunter home from the hill.
