“ Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me ! And may there be no moaning of thebar, When I put out to sea. But such a tide as moving seemsasleep, Too full for sound or foam, When that which drew from out theboundless 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 though from out our bourne ofTime and Place The flood may bear me far ; I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar.”
