No he did not. Though he did go back to the place that he discovered, he sailed back to Spain and died there of old age. I think of old age.
Here is the complete 1492 poem:IN 1492In fourteen hundred ninety-twoColumbus sailed the ocean blue.He had three ships and left from Spain;He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.He sailed by night; he sailed by day;He used the stars to find his way.A compass also helped him knowHow to find the way to go.Ninety sailors were on board;Some men worked while others snored.Then the workers went to sleep;And others watched the ocean deep.Day after day they looked for land;They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.October 12 their dream came true,You never saw a happier crew!"Indians! Indians!" Columbus cried;His heart was filled with joyful pride.But "India" the land was not;It was the Bahamas, and it was hot.The Arakawa natives were very nice;They gave the sailors food and spice.Columbus sailed on to find some goldTo bring back home, as he'd been told.He made the trip again and again,Trading gold to bring to Spain.The first American? No, not quite.But Columbus was brave, and he was bright.Columbus Day Song(sung to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell")In 1492,In 1492,Columbus sailed across the sea,In 1492.For 70 days he sailed,For 70 days he sailed,Columbus sailed across the sea,For 70 days he sailed.He came to a new land,He came to a new land,Columbus sailed across the sea,And came to a new land.Exploring he did go,Exploring he did go,Columbus sailed across the sea,Exploring he did go.He sailed back home to Spain,He sailed back home to Spain,Columbus sailed across the sea,Then sailed back home to Spain.Christopher ColumbusIn August 1492,Columbus sailed the ocean blue.October 12th they sighted land,And set their feet upon new sand.

Spain
John Cobot was planing to go to England but his plans got ruined so he sailed to Canada
De Leon and Columbus were NOT on the same voyage. They were both sent by Spain, but Columbus never reached the main land of the North America and De Leon did. Columbus sailed in 1492, but De Leon didn't leave Spain until 1510. The only connection they may have had is that De Leon was made governor of Hispaniola and then Porto Rico. I know Columbus thought that those should have been his jobs.
No. Drake was English and going to Spain would have been the last place he would have been. Spain and England were at war. Columbus was FROM Spain.
