Robert Louis Stevenson Quote

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.


Bk. I, Requiem (the final sentence was used on Stevenson's Gravestone). - Underwoods (1887)
