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. |
