What do you say at a Sailors funeral?
That's a Rob't Louis Stevenson poem. He wrote it a few days before he
died himself.

Joe wrote:
Last night while watching " They were expendable "starring J Wayne.
One of his men was killed, and John last respects was "Home is the
sailor Home from the sea" .
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 the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

Seems always hard to find fitting words for a sailors eulegy.
Know any better?
