"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 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.

                                      - Alfred Tennyson
