The poem in the film  Sparticus ,

​

Told in a very special way by Tony Curtis  you will need to see  the film to appreciate this; its a cinema masterpiece :

 

  When the blazing sun hangs low in the western sky

   When the wind dies down in the mountain

   When the sound of the meadow lark turns still

   When the field locust clicks no more in the field and the sea foam sleeps like a maiden at rest and  twilight touches the shape of the wandering earth

    I turn home.

through the blue shaddows and purple woods I turn home.

    I turn to the place I was borne

    to the mother who bore me

    and the father who taught me, long ago , long ago , long ago.

     Alone am I now lost and alone in a far wide wondering world.

     Yet when the blazing sun hangs low

      When the wind dies away and the sea foam sleeps- and twilight touches the wandering earth 

      I turn home

  

          (from the screenplay by Dalton Trumo)
