The Tuesday Poem: “Requiem” by Robert Louis Stevenson
Requiem
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 long’d to be;
Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.
by Robert Louis Stevenson, 1850 -1894
