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 home again. » 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 P1&C0 The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crosL the bar. —Alfred Lord Tennyson.
