Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)



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 long'd to be;
Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
  And the hunter is home from the hill.
