Death Quote by Robert Louis Stevenson

“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.” quote by Robert Louis Stevenson — Download Open image
