Under the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And  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."

Robert Louis Stevenson

I am readily aware
That my youth has been spent
That my get up and go
Has got up and went
But I really don't mind
When I think with a grin
Of all the great places
My get up has been!

I have clinched and closed with the naked north,
I  have learned to defy and defend.
Shoulder to shoulder we have fought it out,
Yet the wild must win in the end.
