The Green Hills of Earth (short story collection)

The Green Hills of Earth is a collection of science fiction short stories by Robert A. Heinlein published in 1951, although it includes short stories published as early as 1941. The stories are part of Heinlein's "Future History". The title story is the tale of an old space mariner reflecting upon his planet of birth.
