The Passing of a Statesman

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.

"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.'" 

Rest in peace, John McCain. We have the watch.
