There's this snippet of verse that I've had rattling around in my head that goes like: "Home is the sailor, home from the sea, and the hunter is home from the hill".

And I thought it was probably from some sort of cozy and homey thing about returning home and all, but it turns out NOT REALLY.

It's A.E. Housman, and it's... kinda dark!
---------
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.
---------
Whoa.

Into my heart, an air that kills
From yon far country blows
What are those blue remembered hills?
What spires? What farms are those?

That is the land of lost content
I see it shining plain
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

PÄÄSIÄISLILJA
A. E. Housman(1859-1936)

On kevät: tule ulos vaeltamaan
kukkulaiset tiheiköt ympärillä,
sillä alta piikkipensaan ja karhunvatukan
lähellä notkon
esikot...

A Christmas poem

Loveliest of feasts, the Christmas tree
Celebrates Nativity,
And stands in every home and hearth
A sign of hope for peace on earth.

Now, my threescore Yules and ten
Are gone and will not come again,
And take from four score seventy two,
Noëls to come are precious few.

But since to ponder truth and grace
A lifetime’s feasts give little space,
With opened eyes I’ll try to see
These Christmas days as gift to me.

Apologies to A. E. ’s “Loveliest of Trees”.

ON AIKA, OLETAN
A. E. Housman(1859-1936)

On aika, oletan, jolloin luona Wenlockin kaupungin
kultaisen virpivihman pitäisi kukkia;
orapihlajan ripotellun joka puolelle
pitäisi kuormata maa...
