Sailors' Home. Furled Outrigger Fishing Boats, Mangsit Beach, Mangsit, Lombok, Indonesia

Of course A.E. Housman (1859-1936) occured to me:

 

Home Is the Sailor

 

Home is the sailor, home from sea:

Her far-borne canvas furled

The ship pours shining on the quay

The plunder of the world.

 

Home is the hunter from the hill:

Fast in the boundless snare

All flesh lies taken at his will

And every fowl of air.

 

'Tis evening on the moorland free,

The starlit wave is still:

Home is the sailor from the sea,

The hunter from the hill.
