| Summary | "Hamewith" by Charles Murray is a collection of poems written in the early 20th century. The work celebrates Scottish culture, landscape, and the emotional ties that expatriates feel for their homeland, particularly in the context of the author's life in South Africa. Through rich imagery and traditional Scottish dialect, Murray expresses themes of nostalgia, yearning for home, and the simplicity of rural life. The opening of the collection introduces a poignant sentiment of longing in the poem "Hamewith." The speaker reflects on the wanderlust of youth and the eventual weariness that leads them to desire the comfort of home. This emotional tug is emphasized through vivid descriptions of home, evoking feelings of attachment and a deep connection to one's roots. The poem sets the stage for the subsequent lyrical explorations in the collection, capturing the essence of both physical journeys and the inner emotional landscape of longing and belonging.
