The Lights Of Home

Title:     The Lights Of Home
Author: Alfred Noyes [More Titles by Noyes]

Pilot, how far from home?--
Not far, not far to-night,
A flight of spray, a sea-bird's flight,
A flight of tossing foam,
And then the lights of home!--

And, yet again, how far?
And seems the way so brief?
Those lights beyond the roaring reef
Were lights of moon and star,
Far, far, none knows how far!

Pilot, how far from home?--
The great stars pass away
Before Him as a flight of spray,
Moons as a flight of foam!
I see the lights of home.

[The end]
Alfred Noyes's poem: Lights Of Home
