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 borne 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.
