Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
I put out to sea,
But such a tide moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When embark;
For tho’ from out our bourne of Time Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope see my Pilot face to face
When I have cross’d the bar
