CROSSING THE BAR
Sunset and Evening star And one clear call for me; And may there be no moaning of the bai 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 of the boundless deep, Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell, ; And afterfhat 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 fay, I hope tp.see my Pilot fale to face Wherfl' Jiave crossed thd bar.
