-<poem>
-Sunset and evening star,
-And one clear call for me!
-And may there be no moaning of the bar,
-When I put out to sea,
-But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
-Too full for sound and 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.
-</poem>
