  • Under the wide and starry sky, Dig the grave and let me lie. Glad did I live and gladly die, And I lay 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.

    Underwoods "Requiem" (1887). Engraved on Stevenson's tomb in Samoa, with the seventh line reading "home from the sea," which is a frequently quoted variant.
