Crossing the Bar
Alfred Lord Tennyson
1809 to 1892
Track 1
Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

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