Crossing The Bar 
Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for mel 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 Lord Tennyson
