Crossing The Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaring of the
bar,
When put OFT to sea,
But such tide as moving seems
asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew out the bound
less deep
Turns home again.
Twilight ard evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of fare
well,
When / embark;
For tho from out our bourne of
Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
/ hope to see my Pilot fare to face
When | have crossed the bar.
