'When All Is Done
When all is done, And my last word is said And ye who love me murmur
"He is dead-". Let no one weep for fear I should know And sorrow too that ye should sorrow so.
When all is done, Say not my day is over And that through the night I seek a dimmer shore. Say rather that my morn has just begun I greet the dawn and not a setting sun
When all is done. Paul Lawrence Dunbar

"CROSSING THE BAR"
Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar; When I put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam
When that which drew from out the boundless _ Deep turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell, and after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark.
For tho' from out our bourne of time and place, The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.
-Alfred Tennyson
