Crossing The Bar
Sunset and evening star, A n d one clear call fo r me! A n d may there be no moaning o f the bar
W hen I p u t out to sea.
B ut such a tide as moving seems asleep Too fu ll for sound and foam,
W hen that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home.
T w ilight and evening bell, A n d after that the dark! A n d may there be no sadness o f farewell,
W hen I embark;
For though from out our bourne o f time and place The flood may bear me far.
I hope to see m y Pilot face to face W h en I have crossed the bar.
--Alfred Tennyson
