Requiem

                   

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 longed to be;
home is the sailor, home from the sea,
 And the hunter home from the hill.

    Robert Louis Stevenson
