A poem by Robert Louis Stevenson

Requiem

________________________________________________
Title:     Requiem
Author: Robert Louis Stevenson [More Titles by Stevenson]

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.








[The end]
Robert Louis Stevenson's poem: Requiem
