Unbearably lovely music is heard as the curtain rises, and we see the

leaves. He drifts lazily through the soft foliage. Soon he starts
coughing and drops dead.

Under the wide an starry sky,
Dig my grave and let me lie,
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And laid me down with a will,
And this be the verse that you grave for me,
Here he lies where he longed to be,
Home is the sailor home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.
-- R. Kipling
