REQUIEM

by: Robert Louis Stevenson

      NDER 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.

'Requiem' is reprinted from An Anthology of Modern Verse. Ed. A. Methuen. London: Methuen & Co., 1921.
