"Crossing the Bar"
Sunset and evening star, and one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning at 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.
Twi-light 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 meet by Pilot face to face, when I have crossed the bar.
