Each that we lose takes part of us;
a crescent still abides
which like the moon,
some turbid night,
is summoned by the tides.

                                                  Emily Dickinson 

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.

                                                        Robert Louis Stevenson
