Original text and translations

  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.
