    Default The Far Horizon

    I've seen the bazaars of Istanbul,

    The Blue Mosques of Isfahan,

    The shadowed medinas of Marrakech,

    And the plains of Abadan.

    I've seen the Kasbah of old Tangiers,

    And the streets of Kandahar,

    And I've slept out on the desert sands,

    Neath the heavens filled with stars.

    I've seen the Valley of the Kings,

    And the temples of the Nile,

    And the Acropolis of Athens,

    In splendid Grecian style,

    I've seen the Himalayan peaks,

    All flushed with sunrise red,

    And I've walked the sacred Ganges,

    Where the Hindus burn their dead,

    I've seen the wondrous Taj Mahal,

    Like ivory neath the moon.

    And I've seen the fires of nomad's tents,

    Where the sparks fly in the gloom,

    I’ve seen the jungles of Siam,

    And Bangkok’s temple spires,

    And the million lights of old Hong Kong,

    Like flashing neon fires,

    I've journeyed through the Khyber Pass,

    Where Genghis Khan once rode,

    But through all the world I've traveled,

    Be it Paris, Venice -- Rome,

    The sweetest mile of all to see,

    Is that last long mile to home.
