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;
There is an interesting adjective/adverb contrast here, since ‘gladly’ is not the direct adverb of ‘glad’. ‘Gladly’ does not mean ‘in a glad manner’, but rather ‘happily, freely, voluntarily’. 
 He got the most out of his life, and now he can go to his grave without regrets.
