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 of the boundless deep
Turns again home.
|
Twilight and
evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of the 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. |
