FAR from home alone I wander Over mountain and pathless wave, But the fair land that shineth yonder Claimeth the love that erst it gave. Golden Land, so far, so nearing! Land of those who wait for me! Ever brighter the vision cheering, Golden Land, I haste to thee! On my path a golden sunlight Softly falls where'er I roam, And I know it is the one light Both of exile and of home. Golden Land, so far, so near, On my heart engraven clear, Though I wander from strand to strand, Dwells my heart in that Golden Land. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GREEK SONG: 1.
