REQUIEM
R.L. 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.

“I walked down surprised, when my mother called, motioned for me to come over. I went over there. She said, ‘Tell Lloyd to go for the doctor. Louis is dying.’”

—Belle Strong, RLS’s stepdaughter (interviewed in 1949), recalls the day Stevenson died
