"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 long'd to be;
Home is the sailor, home from
sea,
And the hunter home from the hill."
Those lines are
borrowed from Robert Louis Stevenson's poem, Requiem. The poem speaks to the
honor we give to those sacred places where those we love come to final rest:
the cemetery, memorial park, or graveyard. As the only animal on earth that
takes such great pains to memorialize the passing of our species, we do it with
tenderness and reverence.
