Requiem

First published in Underwoods (London: Chatto & Windus, 1887).

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.
