Homeward Bound

I have ventured on many a journey,

By land and sea;

And whether success or failure

Was granted me,

It mattered but very little —

It is good to be Homeward Bound.

When thou bravest the final voyage,

And thou must steer

Across the mysterious ocean,

Friend, have no fear;

There is only one port for the sailors

When once they are Homeward Bound!
