Requiem

by Robert Louis Stevenson, 1887

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 sea,
  And the hunter home from the hill.
