Bk. I, Requiem (the final sentence was used on Stevenson's Gravestone).
Underwoods (1887)
Context: Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

Homeward Bound
Song lyrics, Parsley (1966)
“She wants to go home, but nobody's home. It's where she lies, broken inside.”
"Nobody's Home" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eLfvdeInFg (2004)
“Certificates from top US universities adorned the walls like tiger head in a hunter’s home.”

The Rock That is Higher: Story as Truth (1993)
Context: We are all strangers in a strange land, longing for home, but not quite knowing what or where home is. We glimpse it sometimes in our dreams, or as we turn a corner, and suddenly there is a strange, sweet familiarity that vanishes almost as soon as it comes…
“where a man feels at home, outside of where he’s born, is where he’s meant to go.”
