Not trying to hi-jack this thread but I've got a question: I remember several years ago reading a poem -- but I can't remember the title or who wrote it. All I can remember is the last 5 lines:

Here lies he
Where he longs to be.
Home is the sailor
Home form the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

Does this ring any bells? Can anyone help me out? I'd really be much obliged........

Requiem
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 laid me down with a will.

Here he lies where he long'd to be;
Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

Google. Know it, love it, live it.

Thanks.
