Sir Henry Newbolt - Homeward BoundSir Henry Newbolt - Homeward Bound
Work rating: Low


After long labouring in the windy ways,   On smooth and shining tides   Swiftly the great ship glides,     Her storms forgot, her weary watches past; Northward she glides, and through the enchanted haze     Faint on the verge her far hope dawns at last. The phantom sky-line of a shadowy down,   Whose pale white cliffs below   Through sunny mist aglow,     Like noon-day ghosts of summer moonshine gleam--- Soft as old sorrow, bright as old renown,     There lies the home, of all our mortal dream.
