Crossing the Bar by Alfred Lord Tennyson
- 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.
