Annie

Crossing The Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may ther be no moaning of the bar,
When i put ou to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound or 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 crost the bar.

Alfred Lord Tennyson
