Poems of the Sea

REQUIEM"

By Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94)

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.

By Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94
