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 aagin 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 my bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
when I have crossed the bar.

Alfred Tennyson
